Sherman Hemsley walked off of the set of "The Jeffersons" and onto the set of "Amen" where he'd play the same type of character. No, he wasn't a drycleaning tycoon in a penthouse, but he was still loud, obnoxious, and above all, funny.
He was the deacon of a church. He had a comfortable lifestyle and his adult daughter Thelma (Anna Maria Horsford) lived with him. She was somewhat whiny and always pining for Reverend Reuben Gregory (Clifton Davis).
Deacon Frye (Sherman Hemsley) found himself in all sorts of predicaments, even one in which he had his clothes torn off in court!! Boy that was hilarious.
