Shaft has died aged 81.
Even if he only ever did Shaft and did no more work after, we would still be talking about the role. Well, maybe not on this particular forum, but what a performance it was.
RIP

Last thing I saw him in was Seven, but even that was a quite a while back. Seems to have worked steadily up until his death though. Only seen the first of the Shaft films.

RIP Richard Roundtree
I have seen him in the 2008 Speed Racer, a live action film based off the a late 1960s cartoon of the same name. He was the race commentator, I thought he was great, I never knew it was him. They gave him a good role in the film. He appears in that, I don't know, maybe he was a fan of the cartoon and had that chance to appear in the film.
It's nice to know he returned in the last Shaft film to help the character's grand-son. I don't know why I had watched it, it was on Netflix and I was keen being on Netflix so I had watched it because it was there before I cancelled my subscription, so I ended up getting to see him in that. I didn't expect much, he was obviously really aged so I didn't expect much action from him and more from Sam Jackson to watch the film.
There's the obvious three original Shaft films that he was well known in and just had to watch, so really, RIP. Great films to be really lost in.
