Anyone know what became of Ben Powers who played Keith in Season 6 of Good Times? Did he do more TV work after Good Times?

That's a good question. I've always wondered what happened to him, but I can't find any info on him anywhere on the internet.

This has got to be one of the biggest unsolved mysteries on this board. I too would love to know whatever happened to Ben Powers.

Yes, he did - in the first season, I believe. I just couldn't see the two of them together...don't know why.

The rent party happend before Ben Powers. You mean the Christmas party. Person doing the impressions at the rent party was Bookman.

Oh yeah you are correct as I was real tired the day I posted that.

That should have read that I rented a DVD of some stand up show hosted by Norm Crosby (there were quite a few of them) and Ben Powers was on that and that's where he did is wonderful immitations of COSBY, TONY BENNETT, and others
