I think you're thinking of Cleavon Little, the DJ/radio jokey

unless maybe he was in the newer remake version, in some form

He was Clevons engineer. Non credited role

He ran McDowell's like a champ.

God bless his family

Good Times ...... also in Two and a Half Men playing the gay lover of Stacey Keach's character. Very funny.

I remember him mostly as James Evans Sr and Mr. MacDowell....Paul Koslo and the boys messed him up bad in the original Vanishing Point.
RIP!
