R.I.P Richard Roundtree. It was an honor to know , fellowship and work with you. Many nights and days on the road sharing stories , laughing and sharing our art . Seeing all the posts honoring you in your passing is a reminder of how many lives you touched and how many of us got to be in your presence and share the stage or screen with you.
A little known fun fact is when JohnSingleton was slated to do the remake of Shaft he and I met several times as he’d stated he wanted me to play the part.
An icon of Blaxploitation film who starred as detective John Shaft in Gordon Parks’ 1971 action thriller, died Tuesday afternoon after a short battle with pancreatic cancer. He was 81 years old.
His death was confirmed by Patrick McMinn, his manager since 1987.
“Richard’s work and career served as a turning point for African American leading men in film,” McMinn said in his statement. “The impact he had on the industry cannot be overstated.”
Roundtree was a leading man from the very start of his lifetime in screen acting.
After beginning his career in modeling, he secured “Shaft” at the age of 28, marking his feature debut. A smash hit in theaters, the MGM release earned $12
million in ticket sales off of a $500,000 production budget, helping to save the studio from bankruptcy. A breakthrough hit, “Shaft” set the tone for a prolific decade of Blaxploitation filmmaking and demonstrated Hollywood’s historical failure to consider Black talent and the
moviegoing audiences that they could reach.
When asked about the “exploitation” label attached to “Shaft” by the New York Times in a 2019 interview,
Roundtree expressed some ambiguity about the term.
“I had the privilege of working with the classiest gentleman possibly that l’ve ever known in the industry, Gordon Parks. So, that word, exploitation, I take offense to with any attachment to Gordon Parks… I’ve always viewed that as a negative. Exploitation. Who’s being exploited?” Roundtree said. “But it gave a lot of people work. It gave a lot of people entrée into the business, including a lot of our present-day producers and directors. So, in the big picture, I view it as a positive.” – Variety
