Hollywood has lost another great actor. [View all]

Louis Gossett Jr passed away at the age of 87. Some many great movies, but the I most remember him in was “Officer and A Gentleman”. He played the role of the tough Drill Sergeant. A great man and actor. Thank you for the memories and Rest in Peace.
