Damn. I loved Yaphet Kotto in Alien, a really memorable performance. I’m just reading about how Irvin Kershner offered him the role of Lando in TESB, but not wanting to be typecast in ‘sci-fi’ movies, he turned it down… I wonder how differently the character would have turned out?
Thinking of buying Irvin Kershner’s movie ‘Raid on Entebbe’, featuring Yaphet, which I’ve never seen.
