On January 6th 2022 we said goodbye to someone very special to a lot of actors, activists and people as a whole. People would say his presence alone could turn someones entire day around. And that charisma is what made him such an amazing person on and off screen. He is an acclaimed actor with awards such as the NAACP award, Golden Globe, Academy award and the Coretta Scott King award just to name a few. He was such an asset to the community and the African American community and he will truly be missed
