The AV Club

Sherman was most known for portraying George Jefferson, starting the character on All in the Family, a counterpart to Carroll O'Connors racist Archie Bunker. He then "moved on up" (had to do it, sorry) to his own show, The Jeffersons. After the end of that show, he continued to make appearances on many other sitcoms, including The Fresh Prince and Family Matters.

Goodbye, Mr. Hemsley!
