Do you know the name of the casting director of Good Times; I believe this individual was also the cast director for both Sanford and Son and What's Happening!

I believe the person's name was Jane Murray (but I could be wrong)....

Look at him, he wasn't exactly grown. Michael was taller than him with his fro.

You can tell he was 10-15 older than Michael in real life
