The first time I watched Roots, it shook me to my core. My mom said she watched it when it debuted and has not rewatched it since. May he rest in power.

I'm glad he got such a great role as the Watchmen part late in life, that's pretty cool. ❤️

Aww. :( I loved him in An Officer and a Gentleman. The relationship his character had with Richard Gere's character was really the highlight of the movie. Especially the scene at the end...
