LOS ANGELES (AP) — Louis Gossett Jr., the first Black man to win a supporting actor Oscar and an Emmy winner for his role in the seminal TV miniseries “Roots,” has died. He was 87.

Gossett’s first cousin Neal L. Gossett told The Associated Press that the actor died in Santa Monica, California. A statement from the family said Gossett died Friday morning. No cause of death was revealed.

He was a great actor and in so many memorable movies. For me he will always be Chappie from Iron Eagle. Enemy Mine also holds a special place in my heart as it was one of my father’s favorite movies. Enjoy your rest Sir.

One of my favorites. He was great in "Officer and a Gentleman." My favorite role for him though was "Iron Eagle".
