There's not too many actors who can accurately recreate the face of a father who has had enough bulshit for one day, John Amos is one of those actors!

@jessiejames7492 3 года назад

@angel johnson the problems come later . shes 17 for goodness sakes. when she sees her young friends enjoying themselves. going out with boyfriends, going to work and other platforms of learning, or doin other things shell wonder why she married. shell regret why she didint listnen to her parents. an older man cant always do the things a 17 year old wants an d does. hell also be jealous a younger man will steal her away. A father knows these things. he s only protecting his baby girl.

This is why they terminated the contract with Amos. He wanted a comedic show but with a serious confrontation with social subjects. But already in the 70s producers had a preference for clown acting and catchphrases, so they gave more and more room to Walker.

@Angel Johnson you got to be insane to say that or you are a victim of an old man too. She's still a child no matter how she looks or think she's mature. She can't even drink until 21. Maturity comes with age and these old ppl know how to manipulate younger ppl who don't know better.
