Sorry to hear it. Cancer sucks balls.
Truly great actor who elevated everything he was in.
@7:00 p.m. I wholeheartedly agree with you. May he rest in peace.
I think he used to smoke cigarettes on the series Homicide.
Anyone who is smoking, please stop. The cigarette companies want us to smoke. Right now the government is having a hard time getting the cigarette companies to stop adding menthol to cigarettes and we all know Black people love mentolated cigarettes. This cigarette companies have made billions on us while we cough our way to the grave yard.
So many people make money when we get cancer. Having cancer is an industry that benefits a lot of people (except the person who is ill). Please stop.
What @4:49 said. All of it, except, they’ve made trillions not billions off of us.
