Ah, crap. One of my favorite actors. Such a freaking presence on the screen...

Same here, one of my favorite actors.  I always liked his performances.  You will be missed, Mr. Poitier.

R.I.P.  I think he was a bit before my generation, but his movies were all over TV growing up.  At present, I can't remember a specific one.

Shoot to Kill is probably the last one I remember looking through the list.  I haven't seen that in years.

Try to catch In the Heat of the Night (The movie not the series!) and watch solid acting performances by Poitier and Rod Steiger backed up by as good performances by Warren Oats and others.

Lilies of the Field is one of my all time favorite movies. He won the Oscar for that in 1963, quite an accomplishment when a black man on a movie set was either a porter or shoeshine man. I think he even mentioned something along those lines a few times.

I think I first saw him in "To Sir, with Love." (1967)

Unforgettable
