He was also great as George in A Raisin in the Sun, one of the most depressing plays you can watch. He was in the original Broadway production with Sidney Poitier and Ruby Dee that was then adapted into a movie.

RIP Gunny Sgt Foley. There's a pretty cool YouTube video out there from the 25th anniversary of O&G where he's walking around Fort Worden in Port Townsend where they shot the film. He's very chill & tells good stories of the making of the movie. As people do doubletakes when they recognize him he's just super polite, says hi & acknowledges them. Seemed like a great guy to hear stories over beers.

His performance in this movie could be a masters class in the art of acting 

 

also …

 

 

The kickboxing scene in an Officer and a Gentleman is just so fucking bizarre. It’s steaming along as a traditional romantic drama and… needle drop. Richard Gere is fighting his drill sergeant to the death.

Per IMDB and other 'making of' videos, Gere accidentally kicked Gossett during the filming and he walked off the set and refused to come back. Somehow the producers found another 6'2 black martial arts guy & got him on set the next day to finish shooting the scenes.

Last thing I saw him in was Boardwalk Empire.

When he finds out Chalky's companion is named "Daughter"....

I had an old bluetick once.  I didn't call her "Hound."
