Michael Wilbon said he was the Jackie Robinson of Acting. I think the analogy is accurate.

RIP

Perfect analogy.

He made “In the heat of the night” and “To Sir with love” in the same year.

Both characters demanding to be recognized and respected.

Love both films. Rod Steiger was brilliant too

Even at 94, his good looks had shown through.
