Walker’s co-stars John Amos and Esther Rolle became frustrated with the direction the show went in due to J.J.’s popularity, with Rolle stating, “He’s 18 and he doesn’t work. He can’t read or write. He doesn’t think. The show didn’t start out to be that…Little by little—with the help of the artist, I suppose, because they couldn’t do that to me—they have made J.J. more stupid and enlarged the role.” Amos also voiced his displeasure, saying, “The writers would prefer to put a chicken hat on J.J. and have him prance around saying ‘DY-NO-MITE,’ and that way they could waste a few minutes and not have to write meaningful dialogue.”In 1975, Walker appeared in the Sidney Poitier-directed film “Let’s Do It Again,” followed by 1978s “Rabbit Test” and 1979’s “The Concorde … Airport ’79.” Walker co-starred with James Earl Jones and Debbie Allen in the 1977 television film “The Greatest Thing That Almost Happened,” and that year, he guest-starred on “The Love Boat” for the first time; he would go on to appear in five more episodes of the series.
