John Amos, who had also appeared on Maude as Florida's husband, Henry, was renamed James for Good Times.[4]Carter's success in Raisin brought him to the attention of Lear, who bought out the remainder of his Broadway contract to cast him as the first original character of Good Times, James and Florida's youngest son, Michael.
