Bill Cosby, Sydney Poitier, Calvin Lockhart, John Amos and Julius Harris, who played Tee Hee in the James Bond film "Live and Let Die". Some of the greatest African-American cats Hollywood has ever seen

[@lastdragon820]

Bill Cosby, John Amos and Julius Harris are Foundational Black Americans not African, they are simply American. They are not born nor have cultural bloodline that can be traced back to a specific culture or country in Africa. Africa is a continent not a country or culture. Sydney Poitier, Calvin Lockhart, were of Bahamian descent, although Sidney Poitier was born in America months after his parents came to America. Funny Al Pacino. Robert De Niro, Jack Nicholson are never referred to as some of the greatest European American actors, although they are born here like Bill Cosby and the rest and can trace their blood lineage back to specific European countries.

[@TheManInCommand]

The Bahamas is part of the American continent (The Americas). So, a Bahamian may not be a United States citizen, but they are still considered American.

[@lastdragon820]

@@TheManInCommand sorry but you are wrong...The Bahamas is an independent country and is not US territory or owned by them either. The Commonwealth of The Bahamas is NOT NOR HAVE WE EVER BEEN a U.S. territory or owned by the U.S. EVER. In 1973 America only establish diplomatic relations nothing more. Bahamian American is simply someone who may have been born in the Bahamas and after birth received US citizenship...but Bahamians are NOT AMERICAN's nor can or are they considered such.

Darryl Fuller He might not have been in a lot of films but you gotta admit he did rather well in TV with Roots, Good Times and the Mary Tyler MooreShow. I really liked his appearances on West Wing as the head of the Joint Chiefs. He was perfect in that role, he looked and acted like a career military officer

+Darryl Fuller Actually Sidney Poitier who directed "Uptown Saturday Night, this film as well as "A Piece Of The Action" had planned on doing John Amos starring films but by the release of "A Piece Of The Action" in 1977 Hollywood briefly moved away from financing so-called Black films and instead financed sci-fi films "Star Wars" and "Jaws" What a missed opportunity to see John Amos really strut his acting

[@d.aardent9382]

I watched these when I was a kid, my mom n dad really liked that series of movies Cosby and Poitier did through those years. These are still better than most any new movies that are supposedly "comedies". Now I am reminded about trying to find them and watch them. My dad will like to see them again also Im sure.

[@MD-DLive]

For those who dont know, Julius Harris who plays Bubble top, played in many films in the seventies which includes Tommy Gibbs father in "Black Ceasar ", Super Fly, and he did the voice over for Scrooge in Fat Albert's Christmas Special " just to name a few!
