Subject: Louis Gossett Jr: First black man to win supporting actor Oscar dies
Written By: Philip Eno on 03/29/24 at 11:00 am
Louis Gossett Jr, the first black man to win the best supporting actor Oscar, has died at the age of 87.
The New York-born actor won the Academy Award in 1982 for his role as Gunnery Sergeant Emil Foley in An Officer and a Gentleman.
Gossett also won an Emmy in 1978 for his role in Roots, the ground-breaking TV mini-series about slavery.
His death was confirmed by his family to the BBC's US partner CBS. No cause of death was given.

One of my favorite actors. He was also around the Greenwich Village folk scene of the 1960s and co-wrote the Woodstock anti-war classic "Handsome Johnny" with Richie Havens.

One of my favourite roles he did was in the 1992 movie Diggstown. He makes a reference to Roots in the film and it was funny. Also loved him in the 1986 film The Principal and the Iron Eagle Tetralogy
