The face is better known than the name. He's the recouring character better known as Lenny ("LEN-nah!") on Good Times. But I saw him on tonight's TvLand of S&S. He was the emcee for the show where Fred & Lamont performed. He *always* cracks me the hell up before he even says anything! Him & his little brush he carried around! Constantly brushin himself down! I love it!
There are like, *no* photos of the guy online. (I was too lazy to do a long, thorough search) He would SO be in my av'!

MsMaia · 09-11-2005, 04:10 PM

I wonder if he's still alive.

I think he's M.I.A. like Raymond Allen(Woody). There's no info on them after the 1970s.

Sad to say Raymond Allen passed away a few yrs back go to www.imdb.com and put his name in the search site engine and get all the details. Sadly most of the S&S actors are deceased now except for Demond wilson Nathaniel Taylor Lynn Hamilton Gregory Sierra Pat Morita and maybe a few more but sad to say not many are left. R.I.P.

I went to IMDB.com and put in raymond allen's name and nothing came up about him being deceased

He was also in the episode from Season 5 when Fred goes on "Wheel and Deal" in the ape costume. He showed up at Lamont's birthday party, although if any of you remember the episode, I really don't see what the point of having him show up in that scene was all about. It was a little wierd and ackward. He showed up, Lamont told him there was no refreshments, and he left. The scene wasn't even funny?

casualts@cox.net · 08-27-2006, 08:43 PM

catlover79 · 09-02-2007, 09:18 PM

Which season(s) did he appear on S&S? I loved him as Lenny on Good Times - he never failed to make me laugh!! I'd love to see his S&S appearances.
