Unfortunate to lose 'Prompt Lamont'! He was the perfect character to mediate Fred's antics!

Couple of years ago I saw a short interview with him in which he discussed some of his books about Christian faith. He also was a Vietnam vet.
He was great on Sanford and Son. One of the best theme songs too.

When I saw the thread title I was thinking of the character Grady Wilson on Sanford and Son, didn't know Demond's first name was Grady.

I just edited the title to help a bit. You're right NOCkid, we knew him as Demond Wilson in the cast credits.
