Whether you remember him as the adult Kunte Kinte or as James Evans, Sr. on “Good Times,” you will want to wish him a happy birthday today. Who is he?

Also great in “Die Hard 2,” Happy Birthday to John Amos! Also receiving birthday wishes today is political commentator Cokie Roberts. Today would’ve also been the 33rd birthday of Heather O’Rourke from the Poltergeist trilogy.
