Whatever Happened To: Lou Gossett, Jr.



Whatever happened To multiple-Golden Globe winner Lou Gossett, Jr., the lovable hard-ass Gunnery Sergeant Emil Foley in that significant cultural artifact "An Officer and a Gentleman"? He was working in Kenya. "Don't ask me to drop down on the floor and give me 50, cause I can't do that anymore," said Lou Gossett, Jr. on The Ed Schultz radio show this afternoon from the convention floor in Denver. Who did he support in the primary, "It was Hillary there for a while ... the star of the shining future was Hillary after she won the New york election." But Obama "evolved" on Lou.

What was his toughest role? "Enemy Mine was my toughest, it was 5 hours make-up."

And 180 minutes, to those of us who watched it, of pain.
