Saying Goodbye To Roscoe Lee Browne

Roscoe Lee Browne
May 2, 1925 - April 11, 2007was an American actor
known for his rich voice and dignified bearing.

With his distinct, mellifluous bass voice and commanding presence, Roscoe Lee Browne is an actor whose appearances are usually unforgettable. Even when he just narrates a film, as in the documentary "Brother Minister: The Assassination of Malcolm X" (1994) or the Oscar-nominated "Babe" (1995), his presence is felt.


With his effete air, Browne has often played cynical characters or educated middle-class African Americans who are winning at the white man's game without sacrificing anything....


Browne died of cancer in Los Angeles on April 11, 2007
I loved him. He stood strong and powerful in any role he played.
He will be missed.
