[erik]

I probably shuld have reported this on Tuesday---but on that day, the great African-American actor Yaphet Kotto passed away at the age of 81. He was known for his roles in films like THE THOMAS CROWN AFFAIR, LIVE AND LET DIE, and ALIEN, as well as his role on the NBC-TV series Homicide in the 1990's:
