John Amos, who played the father on "Good Times," has died. He was 84 years old.
Amos’ publicist, Belinda Foster, confirmed the news of his death Tuesday to The Associated Press. No other details were immediately available.
One of Amos’ first prominent roles was as the WJM-TV weatherman on "The Mary Tyler Moore Show." He was also frequently on "The Tim Conway Comedy Hour," which ran in 1970, before he landed "Good Times" in 1974.
Amos was also nominated for his role in the 1977 miniseries "Roots."
Amos' son K.C. said in a statement to the Hollywood Reporter on Tuesday, "It is with heartfelt sadness that I share with you that my father has transitioned. He was a man with the kindest heart and a heart of gold… and he was loved the world over. Many fans consider him their TV father. He lived a good life. His legacy will live on in his outstanding works in television and film as an actor."
Amos played James Evans Sr. on the Norman Lear-produced sitcom "Good Times," which ran from 1974 until 1979.
