Of course he was still alive, though he has been retired from the Hollywood scene for a very long time.

 

RIP!

You're welcome. I wanted to have something else from him listed here besides "In the Heat of the Night".

 

I considered "Guess Who's Coming To Dinner?" or "Blackboard Jungle", but I felt this scene was just right.

 

It took me awhile to appreciate "Lillies of the Field". My mom loved this movie, and as a kid I was bored with it at first, but it grew on me as I got older.

I know he was in some classics, but when I was a kid I loved Let's Do It Again with him and Bill Cosby

Sidney Poitier stared in one of Hollywood's greatest comedies of the 90s, 1997's  "The Jackal".  The casting agent must have been so high he/she could touch the sun putting together this movie.  

 

In this comedy, Richard Gere has an IRA guy with terrible Irish accent, Bruce Willis plays a gay hitman from some foreign country with terrible accent.  Jack Black has a small role as a weapons specialist.    Sidney Poitier plays himself, looking bewildered, wondering what he signed up for.
