Wow. Loved this guy. He had such a unique voice, a commanding presence, and nobody wore a pair of dark shades as stylishly as he did. 5 Card Stud was the first thing I ever saw him in and he stood out immediately for me, especially with his final scene in that. If you've seen it, you know what I mean. Alien, of course his role goes without saying as great. Live and Let Die---I loved him as Dr. Kananga/Mr. Big. But Homicide: Life on the Street was far and away my favorite role of his, playing Giardello, the Chief of the homicide squad. Watched it religiously.
So glad we can revisit him on DVD, cable, and streaming, what have you. Godspeed, Yaphet!
