RIP Yaphet Kotto
« on: March 16, 2021, 09:18:23 AM »
Terrific actor passed away at 81.

He often deserved bigger roles than he was given. Had supporting roles in "Brubaker" "Midnight Run"  James Bond etc...but was well known for his role as Al "G" Giardello on the television series "Homicide: Life on the Streets," which was based on David Simon's book, in Baltimore. It was the show before "The Wire." It's difficult to find but worth a watch.

And, right on time, David Simon gives his first reaction:

Absolutely. One of the funnier movies of its time.
