Brit Posted December 13, 2023 Share Posted December 13, 2023 One of those actors I loved watching excel in their craft. Superb in Homicide. And pretty much everything else I watched him in. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dollars 2 donuts Posted December 13, 2023 Share Posted December 13, 2023 A huge fan, and I mean going back to day 1 on the big screen for him in Glory. This one...this one hurts me a lot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JESSEFEFFER Posted December 13, 2023 Share Posted December 13, 2023 He had very memorable roles, which is the ultimate sign of great acting, imo. There was a cold case on Homicide-Life on the Street that involved the murder of a little girl and how that case weighed on the detectives. Doing some research I found that this episode won Tom Fontana a writing Emmy. I always thought they could make a full length film with some of the those same characters in which the cold case was solved. There is huge drama involved in the closure of cold cases, such that they can make a TV series based on the real life examples of when it has happened. It would have been solid with Andre as the lead or somehow involved. Also in the research, the Adena Watson story line was based on an actual case in the city of Baltimore and out of respect for the family the producers decided to not have a resolution to it. I wonder if that is still true. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wacka Posted December 14, 2023 Share Posted December 14, 2023 When I waist grad scholar Roswell Park, the guy across the hall's cousin was the author of the book the show was based on. All of the characters were based on real people. Was interested immediately in the show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
