Yaphet Kotto reportedly passed away on March 14, age 81. He had a long film career, both in movies and on TV, appearing in among other films The Running Man, Alien and the 1973 James Bond movie Live And Let Die. Earlier today I posted the death of Henry Darrow who starred on TV's High Chaparral. Kotto appeared in a season 2 episode of that western which featured the "Buffalo Soldiers". He had a commanding presence. R.I.P.
