John Amos mini-bio: born on December 27, 1939 A native of New Jersey and son of a mechanic, African-American John Amos has relied on his imposing build, eruptive nature and strong, forceful looks to obtain acting jobs, and a serious desire for better roles to earn a satisfying place in the annals of film and TV. He has found it a constant uphill battle to further himself in an industry that tends to diminish an actor's talents with severe and/or demeaning stereotypes and easy pigeonholing. A tough, often hot-headed guy with a somewhat tender side, John would succeed far better on stage than on film and TV...with one extremely noteworthy exceptions.

John Amos is one my favorite actors. He seems like a genuinely nice guy that enjoys what he does. He has so many accomplishments and is seldom recognized. Why doesn't he have his own fan club?

It is amazing that this great actor does not have more written about him. It is a joy to watch him in all his work.
