We lost a very talented and prolific actor.

He had a long and productive career and seemed to pop up everywhere. Even in the not too strong Birds of a Feather on MPI he put in a good performance. RIP

I saw earlier today that he passed but I completely forgot that Shaft was on MPI.
Wasn't there a SHAFT IN AFRICA? I think we're lucky to have gotten SHAFT IN HAWAII.

Re: Richard Roundtree has Passed
That was my reaction, I couldn't recall what episode he was on, which is odd considering what a strong actor he was.ZelenskyTheValiant (Ivan) wrote: ↑Wed Oct 25, 2023 8:41 pm I saw earlier today that he passed but I completely forgot that Shaft was on MPI.![]()
