Rest In Peace, Ossie

A great actor, Ossie Davis, died today: Actor Ossie Davis dies

Ossie, I never met you so I can't claim to know you, other than through your work, but let me take this opportunity to publicly thank you for your memorable performances.

I especially want to thank you for your moving performance in Spike Lee's "Jungle Fever", when you played a father dealing with the tragedy of a son addicted to drugs. That unsung role was one of your best, in my opinion.

Thank you also for having the guts and sense of humor to play the role of JFK in "Bubba Hotep". That was one of the funniest movies I've seen!

I hope your transition was peaceful and I look forward to seeing you again.

Peace.
