== Early life and education ==
Gossett was born in Sheepshead Bay, Brooklyn, New York on May 27, 1936, to Hellen Rebecca (née Wray), a nurse, and Louis Gossett, Sr., a porter. He is an alumnus of Mark Twain Intermediate School 239 and Abraham Lincoln High School.〔(Biography ) at filmreference.com〕 His stage debut came at the age of 17, in a school production of ''You Can't Take It with You'' when a sports injury resulted in the decision to take an acting class. Polio had already delayed his graduation.
After graduating from Abraham Lincoln High School in 1954, he attended New York University, declining an athletic scholarship.〔Pfefferman, Naomi. ("Louis Gossett Jr. to Give Shul Inaugural Ball Toast" ), ''The Jewish Journal of Greater Los Angeles'', January 15, 2009. Accessed September 23, 2009. "Gossett suspects that his English teacher at Abraham Lincoln High School, Gustave Blum, identified with African Americans because he had experienced anti-Semitism as a result of the blacklists."〕 Standing 6'4" (1.93 m), he was offered the opportunity to play varsity basketball during his college years at NYU, which he declined to concentrate on theater. His high school teacher had encouraged him to audition for a Broadway part, which resulted in his selection for a starring role on Broadway in 1953 from among 200 other actors well before he entered NYU.
