One thing I liked about Louis Gossett Jr. is that in every role he played, he always exuded cool. Even when he played a villain like Sgt. Foley, he always had swagger. There was always something that pulled you in to his performances. Even in his later roles as an old man, he was still a presence on screen. He always represented Black masculinity & Black people to the fullest.
He earned the title of "Legend".
May he rest in peace.
