Man went hard in everything he was in. Flight of Dragons, Field of Dreams, Conan... Generational talent.

Lion King, Coming To America, that weird Lenny Henry film where he's a struggling British actor in America who has to put white face paint on to go under cover with the mob.

I don't have it to hand, but imagine that I have posted the closing scene of Sneakers, where he puts in a superb turn as an NSA bigwig being absolutely taken for a ride by a bunch of counter-culture hackers.
Heck of an actor, with an astonishing career to his name. He will be much missed.

There was an episode of Fraiser that he was in where he was brilliant. Everything he touched- pure good. How that voice haunted me and thrilled me as a child.
