I like when he yells at Darryl and says "Don't you get it?! The girl doesn't like you anymore. Can't you get that through your greasy head?!" LOL

I didn't even recognize him in this film for a long while!
I keep remembering him as James in "Good Times"!
He seemed taller on the show too.
"I'd say this cloud is Cumulo Nimbus."
"Didn't he discover America?"
"Penfold, shush."

You are wrong, both LeVar Burton and John Amos played Kunte Kinte; "Toby" is the slave name of Kunte Kinte. Burton was the young Kunte Kinte and John Amos the older Kunte Kinte.

"The funny thing in this movie is the old men in the 5b4hair saloon referring to "Kunta Kinte" each time the prince shows up there.
John Amos played Kunta Kinte in the Alex Hailey tv series "Roots" in the seventies. "

  • Nope, that was LeVar Burton. John Amos was in The Roots, but his character's name was "Toby".
    I know him pretty much only from Good Times and Coming To America

I also like the reveal that no matter how into money he was no matter how much the king ( Jones ) offered to bribe nothing could cover how protective he was about his daughter
