Did Don Swayze play in an old movie with Louis Gossett Jr.?

Answer 1

Yes. US actor Don Swayze (younger brother of Patrick Swayze) gained critical acclaim for starring opposite Louis Gossett Jr. in a 1995 film titled "A Father for Charlie" (aka High Lonesome). He played the character Reuben Cantwell, who is Charlie's real father, a somewhat unsavory character. Gossett is Walter Osgood, the "last black man" in the 1930's town of High Lonesome, who becomes a father figure for Charlie. It was a made-for-TV film.
