OLD STARS YOU THOUGHT ARE LONG GONE

Richard Roundtree, Born in 1942
Before actor Samuel L. Jackson portrayed the role of John Shaft in the 2000 film Shaft, the original actor who played it was the ’70s icon, Richard Roundtree. Roundtree is considered by many as ‘the first black action hero’ because of this role. Roundtree continues acting to this day, mostly smaller roles, when compared to those which he became famous for.
