at age 78 from pancreatic cancer, a fate I wouldn't wish on anyone because it can be a hellish way to go.

Who's Brock Peters?
Just one of those excellent actors who everyone knows by eye but all too often not by name. He's been in a ton of very good to great movies over the years including (but by far not limited to);
To Kill A Mockingbird (one of the greatest performances I'vd ever seen)
Porgy and Bess
Carmen Jones
The L-Shaped Room
Soylent Green
The Pawnbroker
Major Dundee
Ghosts of Mississippi
Star Trek IV - The Voyage Home (Adm. Cartwright)
Star Trek VI - The Undiscovered Country (Adm. Cartwright)
a ton of TV including;
Roots: the next generation
Star Trek: Deep Spoce Nine (Joseph Sisko, Capt. Benjamine Sisko's father)
and many, many Broadway plays
In 1991 SAG, the Screen Actors Guild, awarded Brock Peters their Lifetime Achievement Award for decades of great performances.
RIP Brock. We're gonna miss 'ya.
