Ralph Carter Talks Journey to Television | Good Times 50: Still Golden 

Whats late 60s supposed to look like ?

Agreed! I'm glad he's still here. He'll always be our "beloved" Michael!

He looks very good!

​@@pooddescrewch8718 he's in his early 60's

@@MiracleWhipped Changes nothing . He is an old man . If we are lucky we all get old . Its a great time of life . Maybe you have looked better but your sense of well being is never better . I am happier at 55 than I was at 35 .

That's wonderful

Awesome memory ☺️ thanks so much for sharing ❤️ it made me smile 😊 past is Always bittersweet..... Eitherway best life positive wishes continuing from DuuuuuuvvvvvvvvaaaaaLLLLLLLL county jax fl USA

❤

Me either

Right

Yea they had to borrow him broadway the early years of Good Times. He was in "The Raisin in the Sun" Broadway play.

Would love to see him in Raisin😊

He was also a talented singer.

No frr micheal was fine ash 😭

Cap and cope. He looks sick. How did this guy wind up looking like a homeless drug user? Sad.

Haha FACTS. He still looks like a kid by the eyes

My first thought 💯

I see bloodshot😂

I'm so glad to have found this comment and didn't have to go far seeking it. I could listen to him speak all day.

"Thelma! Boy, is a white racist word!"😃😁

I was going to say the same thing. I know he has so many wonderful stories to tell. 🙂

Very much so.

Seems so peaceful ❤

He is one of the most hilarious as well!!!

completely agree!

A lot of people have no idea how accomplished he was BEFORE he got to Good Times. There are videos of him performing as a child on RU-vid.

I loved listening to Ralph’s story. He really turned out to be quite the classy gentleman.

He looks pretty old here and he was the youngest

​@@deloresredman4792???🤔🤔

For 70, i would agree....She was in S4 of "The Family Business".....i like her in the role..

Miss bernadette is In her 60s but she looks in her 30s!!!!

@@AngelHoll She's actually in her 70s. She's older than Ralph but looks younger

@@hardren101 Right. She's always been a beauty

​@AngelHoll She looks nice, but I don't know about her looking like she's in her 30s lol maybe 50s

Indeed ☑️

Yes, he's well spoken.

YOUR flight manifest?

@@HardCold-Alquan meaning the paperwork that is given to a FA by the gate agent letting you know who's on the flight by name and seat number, the breakdown of the number children and adults on board, the flight time, gate number at the next airport, etc., so yes, it's MY flight manifest. The information is not able to be used for any other flight again in the future because of the chances of those exact people, exact weather conditions, and/or anything else that would be the exact same as the original and that's MUCH less than the one percent.

@@Nille0212 YOURS suggests that you own it.

@@HardCold-Alquan it's in my possession so I do own it. It's typically thrown away or recycled after each flight so it's not something that I stole. Out of everything I said about how much I enjoyed the experience of meeting him, THAT'S what you're talking about?😂😂😂 Boy people can be petty. 😂😂😂 Would you prefer that I say "...the flight manifest that's given to the lead flight attendant before the door is closed and is thrown away after that leg of the day, so it wasn't a problem that I had him autograph it for me..."? Or was the REAL reason for that question because of my profile picture; because I couldn't possibly own a plane, could I? Even though there's plenty of people who look like me who do. 🙄🙄🙄

Were you working on a jumbo jet?😂

Kennedy HS Suffolk?

@@DeepCover757 Yes, John F. Kennedy

Post it!

Awesome story! 😎💯✌🏽

Ha ha Larry. He got mad when Camron called him Larry.

@hatshepsutiv informally we all called him Larry., friends, neighbors, etc. Professionally he uses Laurence .

Don't believe you

That's where I met him, too!!! He was such a nice guy.

Wow 😍 Amazing info ℹ️💯

Wow! It’s fascinating to imagine what Haywood & Laurence would’ve done with the role of Michael. I love the sense of community he had with all his fellow actors.

It's really fun as an actor to be in a situation where your friends act also and yall can all fit in the same available roles, audition together, travel together, etc.

But what if Fishburne had played Michael. Would he have been a better militant midget?

I remember Laurence Fishburne in Cornbread Earl and Me

Yes, and you too Wyomia lol

@@lecuyerdooley1084I swear he used every W name in the book! How about when he called her Wyoming? 😂 What made it so funny was that he always said it with such conviction and a straight face too! 😂😂😂😂

Wanda could weep over anything! She was so wonderful. Alderman Davis could really screw up the name of Willette, Waggoneer, I mean, Willona. @@hotgritz4sho

Boy, Alderman Davis could really botch Willona's name. I remember him calling her Winnecta, Winifred, and even Waldorf-Astoria! @@lecuyerdooley1084

​@@lecuyerdooley1084😂😂😂😂😂

I always thought he was gay

​@@cauliflowerpower41Ralph Carter has a wife and several children.

So cute 🥰

And if he was, What difference would it matter? He was an amazing actor! It's 2024, why are people so caught up in other people's sexual preference? @@cauliflowerpower41

@@GeminiladyJackson-xq6hc- wife and children🤔. Really?? He certainly was the cutest “Mike Evans” child actor.

Hey! I recognized your name from your comments on Bewitched. When did Ralph Carter go to your 25th birthday party? Did you get to talk to him? Inquiring minds want to know!

I always thought he went to Pratt Institute.

I met Mike also not at LACC but in that area and he was such a nice person. I also saw him again in LA but he was visiting my neighbor I have nothing but great memories of him.

He like 30 years older than me & same glad he's still alive & well. Had to Google how old he is I thought he was older

He's not poor by any imagination. He just dresses with an eccentric flair. 😃 🍀 💐

Yeah he is 4 years older than me as well . He a cool dude but he is not aging well . Let’s keep it 100 . I hope it’s not a illness

He's alive but he does not look well! In his 60s, the brother looks like he's in his 80s. I'm not trying to be unkind; I'm being real. I DID NOT RECOGNIZE HIM.

@@lw5592 Let’s pray for him . I turn 59 in April so he is only a few years older than me

Yeah he was always well spoken..Even as a kid

No he doesn’t

@@TheloniousJackson🤣🤣🤣🤣

@TheloniousJackson am sure you have not aged well so be nice.

I heard that Michael has aids.Altho he's been married,I also heard he was gay.​@@TheloniousJackson

@@TheloniousJackson You don’t know a person’s life. Their struggles. Their pain. Their triumphs. Their medical history. Everyone ages differently. I’d rather celebrate his remarkable talent and the fact that he’s STILL with us and speaking in his clear mind. The visuals are irrelevant.

You're not wrong!!!!

He sure was!!!

When and where did you meet Ralph Carter?

@@GeminiladyJackson-xq6hc I'm from Brooklyn, but I worked at a pharmacy in Manhattan back in 2003. He used to come in all the time to buy 🚬 Before he passed me his I.D. on the 1st day, I asked if he was "Michael from Good Times"? He said, "Yes, but these days, I just go by Ralph". I said, "Understood, Mr. Carter". After that, he used to come in my line every time he came in. He was very soft spoken & really sweet.

​@@La-Toya0488 😊

@@La-Toya0488 You're so lucky to cross paths with him. Jimmie Walker, who played JJ, lives in Las Vegas and his refuses to acknowledge his fans.

​@@GeminiladyJackson-xq6hc Wow 😳

And Ja'net DuBois RIP!

That's true

Henry was a firefighter.
