The Oscar-winning actor Louis Gossett Jr., released a statement today, revealing his struggle with prostate cancer. According to the statement, Gossett decided to go public with his illness “to set an example for the large number of African-American men who are victims of this disease because of the comparatively low emphasis in our community on preventative examinations and early treatment.”
Gossett’s cancer is in its early stages, and the actor has begun treatment.
That sucks Wishing him well-he is one of those guys that as EW puts it-would watch him in anything!
My thoughts go to him and his family. I may have to pull out Iron Eagle.
Very sorry to hear this, best wishes to this talented actor.
Sad, hope he conquers it!
Recently saw him on a DVD episode of “the Invaders”
