This hits harder than a lot of celebrity deaths.

I'd like to say a special thank you to Samuel L. Jackson for refusing to remake Shaft and opting instead to play John Shaft's nephew of the same name. Shaft should never be remade and the character should be regarded as though he were a historical figure. Richard Roundtree is a part of history.

That was Bubba Smith. He already died years ago.

I think that's more AAVE than twitter.

You'd have to ask the one who posted the emoji, but my guess is "cry now, smile later" - "Sad, but he's in a better place and there'll be better days."

Richard Roundtree in the old 1970s Shaft stuff was before my time.

he popped up later in stuff like that prison movie with Don the Dragon Wilson and the DC Comics movie Steel and a few other things.

But I have seen the Sam Jackson Shaft movie that had Christian Bale years ago

RIP. Shaft was a before my time obviously, but I remember him from George of the Jungle, where he played Kwame, the leader of the jungle expedition, who incidentally has my favorite line in the movie: "He says that he likes your "magic pictures," but he prefers the resolution of the Leica 35 millimeter transparencies. He also says your lens is dirty, but he has the equipment to clean it for you."

He also had a small part in Speed Racer as Ben Burns.
