Always enjoyed the SHAFT films, and his appearance in STEEL as Shaq/John Henry Irons's mentor.

This is a major, major bummer. He was my favorite living actor.
He was the first male with breast cancer to be public about his diagnosis and did an incalculable amount of good raising awareness of men being susceptible to it.
We all know how classic 'Shaft' and his performance is, but he also stars in one of my all time favorite movies 'Q the Winged Serpent.'

I once heard a story, on the radio, from someone who got partnered with him at a pro-am golf tournament. Said he was the nicest guy you’d ever meet. RIP

A big fan of "Shaft", one of my favorite movies. Rest in peace, sir. That ‘71 film is actually a very underrated neo noir with cultural undertones, and Roundtree bringing both a sense of empathy and badass-ness to the title character. |

No matter anyone's opinion on the movie, I was happy to see him play the role one final time in the recent film. It wasn't young John Shaft but it was great to see that character ended up living a long life and even having a son and grandson that he got to work a case with.
A perfect farewell to his character.

Also he still got some iconic Shaft lines in that one "Damn, were you back there having a knife fight??" "Oh hell no, I shot him." |

It's a movie about a flying dinosaur who, our of all the buildings in New York, nests up in the CHRYSTLER BUILDING. How is this not everybody's favorite? |

It has its moments and a fantastic cast, but it’s just weird. |
