    The episode when he and Suzanne go on a road trip together was not only an incredible episode but one of the great breakthroughs in race portrayals on television. I can see why the entire cast adored him because I did too.

      Yes, RIP to all of our DW actors. This was a nice tribute. I remember the first time I saw Meshach he was playing in The Omen II and Mannequin. I loved him on DW and I recently saw him in a few episodes of Criminal Minds.

    How they gonna recreate Designing Women without the chemistry of Meschach Taylor and Dixie Carter? Those two made that show beside Delta Burke.

      No disrespect to Meschach Taylor and Dixie Carter but Delta Burke was the show she is what made the show as funny as it was. And when the shows stupid producers fired Delta Burke that was the end of designing women you can't replace that kind of talent.

    So sad he is missed so much. His role as Hollywood in mannequins and mannequin two is just one of the best I’ve ever seen he played the greatest gay man ever. It was amazing such an amazing person rest in peace.

    Meschach Taylor was hilarious in designing women but Delta Burke was the show she is what made the show into the hit it was. And when the producers fired her that was truly end of the show. R.I.P Meschach Taylor

    I remember him more from his role as Hollywood in the movie Mannequin probably because I lived in Philadelphia and the movie was filmed in the John Wanamakers Department store. Must have been very early in his career but he was very funny. Always reminded me of Arsenio Hall, could have been his body double.

    My favorite episode that focused on Anthony was when he dressed up like Suzanne’s maid to take her citizenship test. My gosh, it’s one of the craziest and most hilarious exchanges between Anthony and Suzanne. I never get tired of that episode. He and Suzanne made that series, in my opinion. After Suzanne left, it was never the same and I quit watching. Really loved Anthony (Meshach) tho. .
