So sad!! A great actor and an icon. Growing up, I rarely saw a non white actor have any decent role in film or TV so to see him have such presence and be so cool aswell as confident and assertive was a massive inspiration to me.

RIP

I’ve never seen a film he’s starred in, but understand how revered he was.

Sad news.

Knew it! As soon as I saw the thread, sighhh...

Loved "In the heat of the night". I know Bill Crosby's fallen out of favour, but there's a comedy he and Poitier stared in, I remember being hilarious..

I'll make an effort to seek them both out at some point.

To Sir With Love is my favourite film by him. The book is also decent.

"One of my favourite films is In the heat of the night "

Same here. It was on freeview a couple of months ago and I recorded it. This weekend seems like an appropriate time to watch it.

My dad looked very much like Sydney from the 1960s onwards. Just thought I'd mention that.
