When he returned he got roles once again on Broadway and also on some TV shows. However, in the 70s, he really began to climb the fame ladder as he starred as Lamont Sanford in Sanford And Sons. Wilson alongside Redd Foxx and the show became hugely successful. Despite that, it was taken off air in the late 70s. He was also part of shows like Baby…I’m Back, The New Odd Couple , etc. He retired in 2005 but is continuing with his work as a pastor since his illustrious career as an actor has ensured that he will never face bankruptcy ever.
