Crap, I really like Yaphet Koto, he was a beast of an actor.

 

I love him in Live and Let Die, Alien, Midnight Run, 5 Card Stud, Blue Collar, 4 For Texas, The Thomas Crown Affair, Brubaker, the Star Chamber, the Running Man.

 

RIP Yaphet

RIP. Good actor who turned in many a memorable performance. Great baddie in The A Team too.

I'm sorry, to hear, see, and read this. He was a great actor, who was in good movies, and t.v. shows. He will be remembered, and missed. My condolences, to his family, and friends. R.I.P., Yaphet. Edited March 16, 2021 by Derek19

RIP to a wonderful actor :rose:

 

Lots of his great movie roles have been mentioned, but he was also fantastic as one of the lead characters in the Homicide: Life on the Streets series

"He always did have an inflated opinion of himself."

James Bond (Roger Moore) after killing Dr. Karanga (Yaphet Kotto) in Live And Let Die. RIP.

Sad to hear.

 

He used to (maybe still did?) live outside of Baltimore and shopped in a grocery store I used to manage. He came in every week.

R.I.P. Yaphet Kotto... :rose: ..i heard it first on here. Sad news. !

never heard of him before....

You've probably seen him in a few things.

[zepphead]

I remember him from Alien.

RIP Yaphet.

He was also in my least favorite Nightmare On Elm Street movie, Freddy's Dead. Him and Alice Cooper and Johnny Depp cameos aside, it's awful. The then hyped 3D doesn't even come in until the last 20-30 minutes of the movie.
