I remember that TV Show V. It was Awesome! My favorite role he played was in the 5 Heartbeats (Eddie Kane Jr.) I actually met this brutha in 99 or 2000 at San Francisco Golden Gate Park Celebrating Bob Marley Day aka Bob Marley's Birthday. He was a very humble brutha. I saw him on another occasion at Reggae on The River where he went on stage and all of a sudden he had a Jamaican accent, but it was great to see him. Wishing Him Well.... Irie Bless....

Of all these positive comments, I choose yours to add to. This video has inspired me to ask about others that co-starred and were simply excellent. Michael Wright was excellent, but as we have known for a long time, there is only a limited amount of Hollywood slots for Black excellence. Another star that will never be appreciated for his excellence in terms of Oscar nominations is Omar Epps, Mike Epps, Harry Lennix, and once nominated for best supporting actor, Terrence Howard. Hell, we're just happy they keep jobs. Mr. Wright was a dynamo on stage. One can't take away from Leon, or a y member of that FiveHeatbeats cast. And Townsend clearly was a great director who will never really get director credit at that highest level.

@@darrellpeebles2300 All Facts! Thank you for sharing your views. The Brothers AND Sisters have been toiling and bringing their Craftsmanship to the World for some time only to be disregarded in sutle AND Blatant ways. I understand fully what motivates Mr. Tyler Perry, Mr. Spike Lee, and Posthumously Mr. John Singleton, RIP(no relation) and others like Mr. Antione Fuqua, The Hudlin Brothers, etc....For me the Five Heartbeats was indeed a Revelation. Clearly, Robert Townsend's Gift of Producing and Directing was totally underappreciated by the Academy but then remember the Egos, and Supremacist Mentality that persists in that paradigm. After living with an Actor back in 1980's New York who was trying to "Break Into" the Industry I learned all too well how one is expected to "Comport" themselves throughout Tinseltown. Sometimes those expectations can get beyond "blurry" and test your personal belief systems and that ofcourse is an understatement. Fortunately we have seen our Heros and Heroines (for the most part) hold "Themselves" in High Esteem EVEN as the Industry may have failed them and that is refreshing. ShalomPeaceSalaam

I hope all goes well with him in the future.

The scene where he says he's still got it and sings for the group gets me every time. It breaks my heart as someone who has loved someone with an addiction problem. Whatever he is currently going through I pray he has the strength to overcome it.

He had such an impact in The Five Heartbeats. His performance MADE The Principle which would have been a forgettable movie if not for MW! ( two movies he helped make great and sadly both are rarely available to stream) When this video first started out talking about him in the past tense I thought we had lost him.

Thanks for doing this. I love him in “Five Heartbeats” and “Sugarhill”. I had not watched him in any other films. Thank you so so much for highlighting his talent. He is indeed a great actor and underrepresented by the industry as many great black actors and actresses are. Praying for health and prosperity.
