Very good performances in the Defiant Ones with Tony Curtis, The Wilby Conspiracy with Michael Caine and Shoot to Kill with Tom Berenger. But In The Heat of the Night was probably his finest.
Brilliant man, pushed his way to the top as a serious actor at a time when black actors were generally still pigeon-holed into 'song and dance' roles or worse. Never realised how old he was tbh.
