      Dayyyumm skippy!! If ever a winner for "Best Supporting Actor" gave a better performance than Louis Gossett, Jr. did in that movie, one would be VERY hard-pressed to find another performance in ANY other movie that matches it. I was sooooooo happy to know that Louis won it, not only because the role was SUPERBLY done and he richly deserved it, but because Louis is a great guy, as well. (Note: I normally don't overly gush over a performance and/or individual, but Gossett's performance was the DI was/is rarified air in the history of acting, IMO.)

    Officer and a Gentleman....you can re-watch this movie again every few years and it never gets old or boring......actually just last night I googled to watch the ending....and I ended up watching the whole movie again.....which I hadn't seen since the start of COVID lockdown!!!!!
    All the other 4 movies were awesome too

    Crazy that he died on my birthday. I love his performance in this movie, and other work that he did in his career - a few months ago I watched him in an episode of “Picket Fences” during a first time watch of the series - he was outstanding. Rest in peace, Mr. Gossett. “Walk around, Seeger!!!”
