Legend. “In the Heat of the Night” and “Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner” were cutting edge studies on the state of race relations in America. Such Brave work. Such a talent.

Sidney Poitier is one of the first serious Black actors that ever impressed me, and he was an excellent actor, as well. He will always be remembered for the many movies that he acted in them, all of them serious roles. I loved his acting, and yes, he did pave the way for others!

Mr Poitier was wholly believable in everyone I ever saw him portray Articulate, clear-minded, a handsome leading-man, highly professional. . His only failing role: playing a white man's Black man in real life, hence his fierce privacy . Had he started in t 90s, he'd hv bn Denzel.

I can remember the first time I seen him in a move when I was a little kid. It was the move In the Heat of the Night. What a good lesson to learn at a young age. Condolences to his family and friends.

who all can remember his role from the Bruce Willis movie ' The Jackal'. That role of FBI deputy director would be memorable for me
