Gene Anthony Ray was a joy to watch. ❤️

[@neonvandal8770]

All of us black and brown kids in the u.k LOVED Gene in the show Fame back in the day. We didn't have hardly any black role models on TV then, and he just owned the screen! Rest easy Gene, you were an inspiration to more people than you'll ever know. 🙏

leroy my friend forever!

[@iantawashington-allotey9913]

He did have formal training he attended The High School of Performing Arts in real life. Granted he may not have had early training but he did attend PA. He was extremely talented as they said from birth.

[@sassythia4678]

He was a bad dancer. Fame was something I never missed and him and Debby Allen was someone to look up to. Irene Caren who could forget fame."Take a look at me and tell me what you see"

[@brendailsley7140]

Blessing to your family.

[@koguma.newyork1]

[@erosbs]

[@darkpninja]

HIs drug dealing family dragged him down.

[@hannibalebc2775]

It be nice if you actually knew the facts before spewing venomous lies about my relatives.

@@hannibalebc2775 "The following summer, in 1984, Ray's mother was arrested in a drug raid along with 14 others, including his grandmother, three aunts, and three uncles. Ray's mother, 46-year-old Jean Ray, was charged with dealing heroin and cocaine. His grandmother, 66-year-old Viola (Lilly) Ward, was carrying six ounces of cocaine and a loaded .38-caliber pistol when she was taken into custody. In March 1984, after a two-week trial, Ray's mother was convicted. According to police, she sold heroin and cocaine to undercover officers in several buys in 1983 that took place in Harlem bars. In April 1984 she was sentenced to at least 15 years, with parole eligibility in 1999. Although Ray, who remained very loyal to his mother, was never implicated in the drug dealings, he was under tremendous stress. After failing to show up for Fame rehearsals 100 times and self-admittedly using drugs between shoots, he was fired from the show in 1984. Ray's use of drugs and alcohol continued unabated. His personal and professional life in shambles, he sat idle for five months, during which time he gained nearly thirty pounds. Eventually Ray began to work out, slimming down again to his normal 28-inch waist size. He spent the remainder of his life attempting to reclaim his place in the spotlight but was never successful." www.encyclopedia.com/education/news-wires-white-papers-and-books/ray-gene-anthony

@@hannibalebc2775 I think YOU need to know the facts. Run a simple background check on his Mother.

@@hannibalebc2775 if you actually ARE part of his family, you should be ashamed.
