some dogs! Jaws 3D might be the worst movie I’ve ever seen. But put him in the right role (“Officer & Gentleman”) and he would really shine. RIP.
Hey, gotta pay the bills. As Michael Caine once said about another shitty Jaws sequel, Jaws 4: "I have never seen the film, but by all accounts it was terrible. However, I have seen the house that it built, and it is terrific."

There are actors who like to work and aren't particular in what as long as they are working. They always show up, don't cause any production problems and are consistently good. That was Gossett, and there is not a thing wrong with that. May he rest in peace in this next part.

There is another actor I would put in that category of dogs,
that would be one Samuel L. Jackson. I sometimes wonder,
does he even turn down a role, that's half-joking.

have heard of the actor Kevin Kline, I am sure you know his wife, that would be Phoebe Cates.
Well Kline had the nickname I guess in Hollywood circles years ago of Kevin DE-Kline...why you may ask? Well he happened to turn down a lot of roles supposedly. So the moral is, it all depends on one's perspective as an actor.
He was cast as Gale Sayers in Brian's Song but then injured himself and they swapped in Billy Dee Williams. Tough break at at a time when there weren't a toon of good roles for black actors. Took him several more years to break out in Roots. He and Ben Vereen stole a lot lot of scenes in that one.
And he said that, yeah, he'd been in some awful movies, but it was a living. It's how he provided for his family and he said he made no apologies for taking whatever roles came his way.
Not every actor is Tom Cruise and gets 50 million a film. A lot of these guys don't make a ton and don't know when the next job is coming. It's kind of like being the 53rd man on the roster. Yeah, it's good money, but you have no idea how long it's going to last.

I was watching an interview with Jeff Daniels who was talking about his career. As he got into his 50s he was getting fewer and fewer offers, most of them being smaller roles and lower quality scripts. He was about ready to call it a career; he had other interests and had enough money put away. But then he got the lead in “The Newsroom” and suddenly he was seen through a different lens and offers poured in.

Kind of reminds me of that Actor Paul Giamatti, who was always a solid number 2/3/4 role in a ton of movies like Cinderella Man. Later in his career as he was resigned to the fact he would never be a lead he finally got a big break, and nailed the role. Now he’s known as a top actor.
Brian Cranston was similar. wasn't even a number 2 role type guy. Played Tim Watley on Seinfeld and then Doug and Carries next door neighbor Tim Saxby on King of Queens.
Then bam!! Lands the lead in breaking bad. Rest is history
RIP.
"Steers and Queers. I don't see no horns on you. You a queer?"
Louis was good in "The Deep" too. Along with Jackie Bissett's thin white undershirt dive gear.
RIP

Very true! I hope he made a mint from Jaws 3D!
Great movie and he was tremendous in it!

Sad ...
Great actor ... I almost said great character actor but, you can't be a great character actor without being a great actor ....period.
RIP Mr. Gossett.
