The only main black villain in the James Bond movie series.

Too bad you can't have that anymore, with all of the woke stuff going on now.

RIP.

Mostly familiar with his work on Homicide:Life on the Streets. It was one of the best written shows for it's time.

He was great on homicide life on the streets but to me he will
Always be the guy from Alien asking about the Bonus situation. I could really relate to that character

An excellent actor in ALIEN and others.

His ads for 7 Up were also huge.

BTW, those ads and 7 Up’s “the uncola” campaign propelled 7 Up to the #3 soft drink spot in sales (only behind Coke & Pepsi). An incredible feat for an independent soft drink.

He had a great supporting role as detective Harry Lownes in the 1983 movie “The Star Chamber”.

I read up on him, he is an African Jew, a Republican, supported Steve Forbes in 1996, and Damn fine actor. His favorite role was the FBI guy in “Midnight Run”, wonder how he felt about De Niro?

I was a kid in the 1960’s when I first saw him and always liked him. God Speed Yaphet and thanks for all the hours of great entertainment.
