Paid Members Devon Malcolm Posted January 6, 2022 Paid Members Posted January 6, 2022 Well, Peter Bogdanovich, for a start. He was also a brilliant critic and film historian, and a decent actor as well. Strongly recommend Paper Moon, which is wonderful, and What's Up, Doc? Everyone is talking about these two as relates to his career, but Targets and Saint Jack are just as good, especially the latter.
Paid Members wandshogun09 Posted January 6, 2022 Paid Members Posted January 6, 2022 Obviously wasn’t his main role but he was good in The Sopranos as well, as Dr Melfi’s psychiatrist.
Pork Pie Posted January 7, 2022 Posted January 7, 2022 He must have done many great things in his career, but when I saw his picture in the news my first thought was The Sopranos and how his character was always annoyingly drinking from a water bottle. Says a lot about how well he played the role and how great The Sopranos writing was
Awards Moderator HarmonicGenerator Posted January 7, 2022 Awards Moderator Posted January 7, 2022 A great, great actor. Though I haven't seen much of his work, I remember how impressed I was by his career in his Bafta tribute a few years ago. RIP.
Paid Members Carbomb Posted January 7, 2022 Paid Members Posted January 7, 2022 OK, 2022, you are off to a really shit start.
Paid Members Devon Malcolm Posted January 7, 2022 Author Paid Members Posted January 7, 2022 Ahh shit. One of the most important and influential American actors of all time. Might have to put Sneakers and In the Heat of the Night on tonight.

Not only have we lost one of the very best, but it’s also weeding out the berks whose only point of reference is Ricky Gervais.

Awards Moderator Frankie Crisp Posted January 7, 2022 Awards Moderator Posted January 7, 2022 A scene in The Office where he tells a black employee his favourite actor is Poitier. Seen it shared a good few times since the news broke.
DavidB6937 Posted January 7, 2022 Posted January 7, 2022 Another great actor gone. Duncan Lennox from The Bill.

Paid Members bAzTNM#1 Posted January 8, 2022 Paid Members Posted January 8, 2022 (edited) George Rossi was also in the brilliant Scottish 80s comedy film "Comfort & Joy". Playing an Italian mob boss. He was hilarious in it. I wouldn't have wanted to have fucked around with Sidney Poitier. Edited January 8, 2022 by bAzTNM#1
westlondonmist Posted January 8, 2022 Posted January 8, 2022 I always think of this when Poitier is mentioned https://youtu.be/NSb-dRXQbok
