He will be missed. The first black actor to win an Oscar.
Remarkable.

So sorry to hear this. Loved SP in lots of films - my favourite being In the Heat of the Night. "They call me Mr Tibbs". RIP Sidney

Lovely actor - and a ripe old age.

maggie - // "They call me Mr Tibbs". //

Just to get the impact right, of such a pivotal line in a mesmerising film, it should read -

"They call me MISTER TIBBS!!!!"

RIP Sidney.

Goodnight Mr Tibbs

A superb actor who paved the way for black actors to be more than just villains and sidekicks. I may crack out To Sir With Love tonight.

RIP

Nice guy, good actor, shame about the small chip he and Harry Belafonte carried.

Always loved his films. Still he had a good innings and left his mark on the world.
