Unsung Heroes of Acting: Brock Peters

Although perhaps most recognised for his performance as Tom Robinson in "To Kill A Mockingbird" (1962), American actor and singer Brock Peters (1927-2005) was a formidable and versatile talent, who played several contrasting and beautifully detailed roles in a career that was to last almost fifty years.

[@aubreewithaextrae]

this is a really unique and awesome idea for a channel! keep going and giving these unsung actors their much deserved flowers 👏

[@unsungheroesofacting]

Thank you so much for your lovely words and support! It can be a bit of a challenge maintaining a channel idea, but as you so succinctly put it, these people are so deserving of their flowers and that makes it all worthwhile 🙏

Happy I stumbled across your channel, good stuff

[@unsungheroesofacting]

@@UserMum7512 Thank you so much for your feedback. Much appreciated 🙏

[@blackpowerdiva4958]

I'm glad you did this. It always ticks me off that the only performance praised in the gr8 y iiiT hope woman's adapted "... Mockingbird" is Peck's.
And I know I've seen him in tons of old things I come across.
(as a genX er, most were made before I was born.)
Incredible actor.
Died without any "honorary acknowledgement" by that filthy joke "Acedemy,."
And like m o s t fantastic actors & actresses who are "⬛" are COMPLETELY forgotten.
So... Thanks dude.

[@blackpowerdiva4958]

Wow, on a lighter note, that means he's done waaaay more movies 🎥 than even my dude, Sam the Great Jackson himself!
Whom must've done like 30 movies 😄 before we even knew his name!
Of course, Same the Great, isn't done just yet.

[@unsungheroesofacting]

Thank you for your thoughts here. They are so appreciated!
You may be aware of this already but there’s a fabulous documentary on Netflix called “Is That Black Enough For You?” which addresses this very issue of representation and who is controlling the voice and image. Well worth a watch. Thanks again 🙏

[@blackpowerdiva4958]

@@unsungheroesofacting no, I'm not aware of the 'flix joint you mentioned.
So,
As much as it pains me to support the distributing platform responsible for MacFarland's disrespectful, cheap abomination that bears the name "Good Times," (animated) ..
I'd be interested in looking into that title. Thanks for the info 👍🏽
