Although most people involved in science fiction are white, there are also Black people in sci-fi, whether they be authors, directors, screenwriters, actors or the characters they play, etc.

My favorites would have the actor Will Smith (various films) and actress Zoe Saldana (for her role in one of the Star Trek movies.) I ought to watch more science fiction to discover more characters and their actors!

I don't like science fiction very much. I'll go with Levar Burton in Star Trek, because I also liked him in Reading Rainbow. Otherwise, Star Trek is boring.

I expected this to be a topic just about fictional characters, not actual real black people. I was just going to say Lando in Empire Strike Back (and not Lando in anything else). Or barring that, the Cat from Red Dwarf. Or maybe Morpheus from The Matrix (but only the first one).

Though for me the problem is that I'm not a huge fan of sci-fi in the first place. So I'm not drawing from a huge pool of possible options. Made worse by the fact that I was mostly thinking of movies and TV, not books or games or anything else.

That being said...

Lance Reddick in Fringe.

Absolutely yes to both. Though in both cases the main appeal is that they've both got incredible voices (Lance Reddick is awesome in Horizon, and was great in Destiny in spite of Destiny itself not being that great when it came to characterization).

I've been a Keith David fan since as far back as They Live. I was also a fan in Men at Work (even if it was a mostly cheesy movie) and even the one episode of Highlander he was in back in the 90s. But his run in games (as the Arbiter in Halo and as Julius/himself in Saints Row) was incredible... and he was pretty much perfect in Mass Effect. Quite possibly the only person in this entire list who actually made me feel emotions strong enough to tear up while playing. Surrogate Space Dad was pretty much the perfect foil to Shepard (especially femShep).
