Obi Ndefo Dies: ‘Dawson's Creek' & ‘Stargate SG-1' Actor Was 51

I remember him in Stargate SG-1 and DS9. I had no idea about his 2019 accident and the loss of his legs.

In the Olympic Games thread, you can find the original story of what happened to Rebecca Cheptegei as she was still clinging to life but tragically, she has now succumbed to her injuries due to a violent attack by her partner. As much as people assume that DV is discussed, there hasn’t been nearly enough discussion of this issue in a comprehensive way.

Okay. Even at 93, I was not expecting this. This one hurts. Rest well to a wonderful, legendary (it gets thrown around, but he was!) actor with one of the most distinctive voices in cinema history.

That voice MADE Darth Vader.

Watching a young James Earl Jones recite the alphabet on Sesame Street (from 1978!) is an experience! Click on the video and give a listen. ETA: One of the responses says this was actually from 1969. So...whichever year, it's still awesome!

Hopefully people remember that James Earl Jones won two Tony awards out of four nominations. August Wilson who was one of America’s best playwrights had James Earl Jones as the original Troy Maxon in the iconic play Fences. Maybe it’s the nature of the business nowadays but it feels like with James Earl Jones passing away, the list of actors who excel in every media and has a legacy of moving performances across decades is suddenly very very short. R.I.P. Sir.

    • lol.   Yeah after last week, I will be surprised if it is otherwise. The biggest story should not be Diane's remodeling of the Abbott estate...though I did like she HAD a story. 
    • Sure, a lot of the storylines of that era are felt on the show today, but the movie was almost entirely about Roman/Marlena/John plus Sami/Carrie/Austin and a side plot of Carly/Bo/Billie/Lawrence with the background of Titan's opening.   It's...not about Jack and the memoir. So, yes, you could go back and use some of the small parts of the movie, but you couldn't or shouldn't do a direct homage of it like you could with One Stormy Night.  It's two different things IMO. 
    • I'd be shocked if it's not just more of his alts lol. He has three active accounts here with variations on the same name. He abandoned the last one presumably hoping less people would block him a couple months ago. Again, probably all him.
    • Sleeps. Because April was such an exciting non-stop action packed must see TV let us take time to breathe….
    • I remember when Scott Clifton was a good actor. I guess those days are gone, because he's been really bad lately. Everything is so affected and intentional, and it screams ACTING. None of it seems genuine.
    • Because that particular primetime episode kick started stories where the effects are still felt on the show to this day.  
    • One of the finer details of the episode I noticed is Leslie and Eva's dresses are representative of what a lower income person who had a windfall would buy for an event and consider to be glamorous. I worked in Nordstrom and there was a lot of this sort of aesthetic on the racks in the evening wear section. Definitely not cheap, but not couture either.
    • Drew and Willow being married and happy with Nina just dropping that bomb on the way out the door could be fun though lol.
    • Why would you even tie into Night Sins if you are just re-hashing B stories?  John/Marlena on the conference table with Sami seeing it and Carrie getting acid thrown in her face are the two main plots. You would be better off just throwing a Titan Anniversary party instead.  I am skeptical they are even tying One Stormy Night from 1992 into this plot at all, but it's a much easier plotline to rehash and you could use several couples to make it work. Now that you mention the Jack/Kate/Bill story that might be one of the few "book" stories that worked though.
