I know him, acted as Mr Reddick in "the good fight" ghe father to liz reddick. I think actors should star rejecting certain roles coz how will u be playing the role of dead man in almost all movies with yout picture used funerals it's only a matter of time.

The end of a cycle of human existence.

He acted in Alex Haley's 1977 blockbuster mini-series, ROOTS. This his face... I'll never forget.

Exceptional and classic performance in "The Officer and a Gentleman"!

May his soul rest well.

They talk about race like being black is a disability. Is it not human beings that are meant to win the award?
If you critically look at it, the blacks are the ones making it look like a disability.
I was disgusted to see Vini Junior crying on TV because someone called him black.
Will a white man feel offended if you call them white?
How can someone use my preference to yab me🤦‍♂️. I prefer black to white. There’s something about the white skin that isn’t much appealing to me.
Personally, I prefer a black girl to a fair one, let alone white.
I think the black man is responsible for making the black race inferior.

You wouldn't understand.


Winning an Oscar then for a black man was a big deal. A very big deal.

Meyo deserved to have been kcked out for his indiscipline but Gosset saved his ass

Gosset was the gentleman and Meyo was the officer

African-Americans loved the movie. For the first time, here was a black man calling a white man "boy." For centuries, it was always the other way round.

Damn! He won three out of the major quadruple: he got Emmy, Academy Award, and Oscar. That's a massive accomplishment.
