Who would have thought when we first saw this episode these two gentlemen would later appear together in Roots. Is it just me, or does Louis Gossett appear older in this episode than he did later like in an Officer and a gentleman?

I think Louis Gossett Jr. looks the same now as he did back in the 70's. He looks great for his age.

Mr. Gossett looks better with his head bald, that receding hairline is what makes him look older. That's why in an Officer and a Gentlemen he seemed younger looking.

It was definitely the hair that made him and James look older. But if you look at his Gossett's) skin and facial features, he has hardly aged. He still looks "Dy no mite"

My sisters husband could have been his (Gossett's) twin.

John Amos looks younger every time I see him. I saw him on Sanford and Son and he looked older then than he does today. He looked older on Good Times than he did in Coming To America and the last time I saw him in Something To Sing About he still looked like he did in CTA. The last time I saw Esther Rolle was on the psychic commercial and she looked the same too.

John Amos was only in his 30s when Good times debuted.
