Richard Gere Salutes ‘An Officer and a Gentleman’ Co-Star Louis Gossett Jr. : ‘We Could Trust Each Other’ as Fellow Actors and Human Beings
'An Officer and a Gentleman' star Richard Gere pays tribute to his Oscar winning co-star Louis Gossett Jr., who died Friday at 87.
“Every once in a while, I hear people calling me from across the street, ‘Hey Mayo, Mayo-nnaise,’ and that’s Lou,” Gere tells Variety, reflecting on the legacy of the film following the death of his Oscar-winning co-star Louis Gossett Jr. on Friday at age 87. In the 1982 film, Gere plays Zack Mayo, an aspiring Navy aviator who clashes with his hard-nosed drill instructor, Gunnery Sgt. I made a movie with director Akira Kurosawa [1991’s ‘Rhapsody in August’], and I was very surprised that he put ‘An Office and a Gentleman’ on his top 10 list.
