R.I.P Legend.

I actually thought he was older than 81. I haven't seen much of him for a long, long time.

This hurts as a big Alien fan.

 

[kunonabi]

Damn, RIP. Always really liked him.

 

[T8SC]

Awful news to wake up to, but he had a long life. RIP. Played a great part as Parker in Alien along with several other memorable roles.

 

[Erdrick]

Woah. I literally was thinking of him yesterday and had seriously thought he had been gone well before this. Parker and Mr. Big from Live And Let Die are his most notable roles that I saw him in. I think he and I share the same birthday, albeit from different years.

 

[Cockles & Whelks]

He had the best line in the whole of Alien. And nearly Picard! https://boingboing.net/2020/04/15/yaphet-kotto-was-almost-cast-a.html/amp

 

[Ownage]

Live and Let Die.

RIP.

Dam, great actor, genuinely upset.

Hope he's not the only 'arsehole in heaven'

 

[Julius Ibidus]

really great character actor, sad that he passed, but happy he had such a long and influential life. RIP.

 

[BlackSandrock10]

Only heard about this a few hours ago....loved him in Alien, Live and Let Die and The Running Man.....but didn't know that he was shortlisted for Picard in The Next Generation! Wonder how that would've went.......! RIP.

 

[Birdo]

That sucks. He was great in Midnight Run.

 

[Ferdinandthecowfish]

He was great on Homicide: Life on the Street too.

Without that show we very likely wouldn't have The Wire.

 

[AJUMP23]

Awesome actor.

 

[Cravis]

RIP.

Thanks for all the great roles and years of entertainment. He will be missed.

 

[AV]

Well damn.

RIP, big guy.

 

[thefool]

Loved him. Hope he got the bonus situation solved.

 

[DeafTourette]

He was great in Homicide: Life on the street

This is sad.

 

[Space Runaway]

Damn. He was good in everything. RIP

 

[Forsete]

Great actor.
RIP.

 

[mortal]

RIP
Man was a great character actor.

 

[ryan13ts]

He was in so many of my favorite movies growing up and was a great actor. I hate hearing news like this.

RIP

 

[Dirk Benedict]

One of the few who survived Freddy's Rampage. His character was interesting, too. Literally helped solve the problem of Freddy's Immortality

Spoiler: ...

in order to kill him

[drganon]

Pretty sure that leaves Tom Skerritt as the last living male actor from Alien.

 

[Nitty_Grimes]

That sucks. He was great in Midnight Run.

Watch your cigarettes with this guy.
