Harry Belafonte (R) with Sir Sidney Poitier (L) was a beacon of light, love and a warrior for justice, who inspired millions more than he could ever have known. These two ‘giants’ & friends represent the passing of an era. You will be profoundly missed Sir!

#NOSHAME in good, honest, hard work. He’s being a man in doing what he needs to do to provide for himself and his family. Much respect to you Sir! foxnews.com/entertainment/
She was the personification of love, dignity, grace & class. This is why I couldn’t wait to get to the stage every night just to be in her presence! You showed us how life should be lived, to it’s fullest!
I share your dark skin baby. YOU are gorgeous. YOU are beautiful. YOU are majestic AND YOU have a mother who knows & understands how to breath power, life & love into your soul. She is speaking truth into your spirit! I pray your heart is imprinted with her truth.
I’ve not posted anything since Thanksgiving because the day after, I lost someone very near and dear to me and my family. Her name was Lynne Andrews and she is my cousin who lived with us for the last 30 years. She was the AMAZING 3rd adult pillar in our home. RIP dearest Lynne!
NEW COLLEGE STUDENT!
I want to give my mother a very special shout-out because she just completed her first two weeks of #college! She is now taking classes and working towards an on-line degree in Communications at 82 yrs. young!! #MajorInspiration #SuperMom #nevertoolatetobegin
It's my birthday! It's my birthday! LOL! I really want to thank each and everyone of you for all the incredible birthday wishes today! I’m very humbled by your support over the years! #Grateful #positiveattitude #lovinTheWalkthroughlife
VERY SAD to hear that Steven Bochco passed away on Sunday. Steven hired me on LA LAW and changed the trajectory of my life and career. There are opportunities available to me today because he took a chance on a kid like me, long ago. I’ll forever be grateful to him. RIP Steven.
Nothing like a heartfelt birthday song in the air. #OnSet #MadamCJWalker I wake up today filled with joy, humility, immense gratitude & an urgency to say to YOU, “I wouldn’t be here without you!” With a deep bow of gratitude, I say, “THANK YOU!”
Truth & Justice with a wee bit ‘a attitude!

One of the most monumental honors & gifts in my life, is being a father to my three adult children. To ‘my’ father, Col. Frank Underwood Sr., when I was a young child, you held my hand. As a grown man, you’ve always had my back! TY for being the consummate example, still @ 91!
For all those LA LAW fans from back in the day… We are working on something new for ya. I’ll definitely keep you posted!
Such a towering talent. May God bless his family & loved ones during this very difficult time. Thank you for inspiring us & sharing your gifts in your brief 43 years... Rest In Blessings young KING! As just said, “please universe, make it stop!” #chadwickboseman

The first actor who was a true friend of mine in this business was @BlairUnderwood. He’s a star, yes. But also a gentleman, family man + comrade. He’s a light. And I’m so grateful to know him for so long. Celebrate a new year of your beautiful life, dear brother! Happy Birthday!
This is how I feel today celebrating my birthday! Steppin’, stompin’ dancin’ through 2020, keepin’ that very real negative energy & challenges facing all of us...OFF OF US! Can’t thank you all enough for the b-day wishes today. With a deep bow of gratitude!
Just wanted to give a shout out to my parents today. First, yesterday my father, Col. Frank Underwood Sr. (Ret.) turned 87 years young and still going strong. We thank God for you Dad, your health, strength, guidance, leadership & love. Congrats on another lap around the sun!
This one is hard to process. Just 2 days ago I posted a video about #FatherDaughterLove, how special that connection is. Only God has answers but there is something inexplicable yet profound that they were taken together, in the same moment, for all eternity. RIP Kobe & Gianna!
On set as our fearless director Duvernay brilliantly crafts the filmic version of the #centralparkfive Honored to play defense attorney #BobbyBurns #cp5 #PowerfulTrueStory!

FACTS: The Confederates were traitors who fought to divide the US into the Confederate States of America. Fighting for their ‘State’s Rights’ to rape, murder & enslave people that looked like me & millions of others. Why is this even a discussion as if it’s complicated?
Just wanna thank ALLL of you for the amazing birthday wishes today. Filled with gratitude when I think back on my life; childhood, past, present and future. Grateful for loved ones, family, friends & YOU! With a deep bow…THANK YOU! Repost @neemafilms #BirthdayBoy
So, I’ve been off social media for a minute taking some personal time. Every day gets a little better but I cannot express adequately enough how profoundly grateful I am for all of the messages of love and condolences you’ve all sent to our family. With deepest gratitude.…
Happy Father’s Day to the greatest father a son could ask for; US Army Col. (ret.) Frank E. Underwood Sr. I salute & honor you today Dad & thank you for being an incredible, role model. You still set the pace for the rest of us to follow! I am the man I am today because of you!

This morning I woke up and found this incredible moment in time. I sent it to to share in the gratitude of this day gone by. Little did we know that Ms. Tyson was being called home to Heaven today. We love you today & forever Queen Tyson!
First day of LA LAW Reboot/Pilot. Playing Jonathan Rollins 30 years later! Hard to believe. Wait till you see this cast. Corbin Bernsen as Becker. Jill Eikenbery as Ann Kelsey. If we go to series, we all hope to see so many of our favorites from the original cast! Keep ya posted.

Could not be more proud of my “one & only daughter,” Brielle for graduating from USC yesterday! Such a long march but worth every step! Wouldn’t have missed it for the world! #GirlDad #prouddad #TheFutureIsNow
I rarely post very personal messages. Today is an exception & special day. My beloved cousin Lynne Andrews, who lived with us for approx. 30 years, unexpectedly passed away 10 months ago. Today is her b-day! Thinking of you as you spend your 1st b-day in God’s warm embrace!

Absolutely honored and humbled to accept the NAACP Image Award for Outstanding Actor in a Limited Series. The character had positives and negatives, sometimes it’s important to understand the image of what NOT to aspire to be.#WithGratitude #NAACPImageAwards
#MeghanMarkle is a Princess not because she married into the #Monarchy but because she knows her value, self worth & empowers herself & people all over the world by speaking her mind. #Congratulations to The Duke & Duchess of Sussex!

As an actor, so much easier to play a character & disappear behind a script. Much respect for the stand-up comedy game. Your face, name, life, material & comedy on display. It's gotta be a 'high-wire' act. Just because many do it, doesn't make it easy! Hang in there Tiffany!
