Yaphet Kotto, star of Live and Let Die and Alien, dies aged 81
The actor, who played the lead villain in the 1973 Bond film, also starred in hit TV series Homicide: Life on the Street
A brilliant Bond baddie, a tough smartass in Alien and Arnies buddy in The Running Man. That’s a pretty damn impressive CV. Had a huge presence on screen. Two of those movies are in my all time favourite lists actually.
RIP

One of my favourite actors. Incredibly gifted, could seeming play any role and way, way better than many A-listers

I've been meaning to get a hold of Nothing But a Man - his first film - for ages.
Highly rated and been recommended to me by more than a few people.

He wasn’t actually in a huge amount of movies but definitely a massive presence when he was. Parker is by far my favourite character in the original Alien.

British character actor Paul Ritter has died of a brain tumour. I thought he was brilliant as the plant supervisor in Chernobyl.
