A bit shameful that no one here has had the kindness & courtesy to at least post a R.I.P. thread. Calling the man a 'legend' doesn't even begin to describe what a positive impact he had on not only the film industry, but the world as a whole.
My personal favorite of his performances was his brilliant, heartfelt, gritty portrayel of the imbittered, nearly emotionally & mentally broken Walter Lee Younger in Lorraine Hansberry's screen adaptation of her stage play 'A Raisin in the Sun' from '61.
I'm also a big fan of the following:
('57) Edge of the City
A remarkable human being by all measures. There will never be another like him. Peace & love to all who know what's up.
