I cannot wrap my head around the fact that he's 67. RIP.

Me, neither. He held his age quite well.

I always admired his one statement, and I'm paraphrasing here, that he would take no role as the token African American friend or colleague, that he wanted to be cast as a man who happened to be of color.

May his family be comforted by the love and respect felt by his fans.

RIP.

We first noticed him in "Mannequin" and looked for him in whatever movie or TV show he would appear. He was always the most fun character there.

A very talented man. I always enjoyed his acting. He will be missed.

So sad, my thoughts and prayers are with his family. He was such a talented actor.

Oh, I've always liked him. My sister and I especially enjoyed him in Designing Women.

RIP.
