AWWW. PEACE UNTO HIM.

He was ONLY 70? WTF?!?! I thought he was in his 80s! Geez!

Oh no! R.I.P. Mr. Bentley. Thanks for the laughs.

The 2nd Lionel died. ********GOOGLE Afro American Syndicate******** Mike Evans of TV's The Jefferson's Dead Mike Evans Dec 14, 2006 - Mike Evans, 57, an actor best known for his role as Lionel Jefferson in the TV sitcoms "All in the Family" and "The Jeffersons," died of throat cancer Dec. 14 at his mother's home in Twentynine Palms, his niece Dr. Chrystal Evans said.

well he was pretty old

Actually the FIRST Lionel died. He was the one that was lighter and had an afro. Mike Evans played him for the first couple of seasons and then was replaced.

I'm old enough to remember that Mr Bentley had a role on Sesame Street as the guy who walked around painting letters and numbers on the wall.

*** Mr. Bently! See ya later.

WELL MY CONDOLENCES

R.I.P, HOPEFULLY HE MOVED ON UP TO THE "EASTSIDE" AND NOT THE "DIRTY" SOUTH IF YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN ;)

disconnexionsdotcom YOU ARE SO RIGHT HE WAS THE FIRST LIONEL.I DID GET HIS NAME RIGHT THOUGH.

Awwwe that's sad =-(

A[SPAM]wwww.....! R.I.P.

WHAT YOU SAY? *talking like my grandmother* AIN'T NOBODY CALLED AND TOLD ME NOTHIN'! *screaming* AAA[SPAM]...... WHEW LAWD... WHEN THE "FUNE?" OKAY BABY.

*** I DIDNT KNOW HE WAS STILL ALIVE! HE OUT LIVE WEEZY! WOW! OK NOW WHO IS LEFT IS THE MAID AND SHERMAN!MAN R.I.P

The first Lionel, Mike Evans, wasn't replaced. He quit his role on the Jeffersons to concentrate on his new show, Good Times. Then he eventually returned. But, yes, he's dead.

moving on up!!! RIP dude

RIP

Oh yea...forgot that Mike Evans died. Damon Evans is the 2nd Lionel lives in Bmore. What's amazing is that George's mom was well in her 80's on the show and still acting.

Wow George is only 70? Florence is now 77. Tom died in '06 at 78. Helen (Lenny Kravitz mom) died of breast cancer in 1995 at 66. And of course Louise died in '04 at 87 y/o which I still can't believe. She was 20 years older than George!!

I liked Mr. Bentley..

RIP

@ STEFJ1972- Girl I did too.. I was going to cry if it was Mr. Bentley Foxsworth.

Wow! The person who posted Mr. Bentley's acting resume. What a great job with the research! I did not know he did all of that. I thought he was truly an English actor.

Rest in peace....

RIP...Mr. Jefferson use to always heat his @ss...lol

At 70, he was young. I didn't realize just how old the actors were on that show. They dying off and now there are about 2-3 originals left.

@wakeupblackpeople: Esther Rolle was 19-20 yrs older than John Amos too. Those black folks could play those age roles.

R.I.P. Bentley

R.I.P. MR. BENTLEY....I JUST GOT THRU WATCHING THE JEFFERSONS..

As a true fan of the Jefferson's, I was lucky to have met Mr. Benedict a little over ten years ago and he and I had a nice conversation. He asked me for one of my business card and told me he would cherish it. Man, He was COOL; and please, Rest In Peace.

Wow! I loved Mr. Bentley! R.I.P
