Fun fact about "Iron Eagle": The USAF obviously didn't want to cooperate with a movie centered around a group of civilian teenagers stealing two F-16s and illegally bombing someone, so all the aircraft and flying scenes are IDF assets filmed in Israel. Also, Doug's girlfriend is Jan from The Office.

I haven't seen it in ages, but I remember thinking Enemy Mine was pretty underrated.

My favorite performance of his was on the Rockford Files.

He called Jim "Rockfish."

I had never heard of him, but that was quite the story to read at 7 AM. What an absolute mess.

Gossett Jr. was on Rockford Files a few times, but that was Isaac Hayes calling him Rockfish.

What’s funny is that their nicknames weren’t much different.

One was Gabby and one was Gandy.

My "cable" has a bunch of channels of old TV shows and Rockford Files is one that I'll put on if there isn't anything else on.

About a week or so before the original post about Gossett Jr's passing, there was an episode that was on where Isaac Hayes' character actually called Rockford by his real name.
