He was basically continuing the character he did in James Bond “Live and Let Die” thru the 70s and 80s in those commercials.

He got typecasted with that performance.

This clip also features Robert Earl Jones (James Earl Jones’ father).

Wow! That clip had star power! & the water must have good on the set 'cause most of the Black talent in that film lived 'til their 90s. I appreciate the drop and the education.

 

[Megatron X]

In the 70s and before, commercials could be one minute or more. They cut that shit out. It's now 30 seconds or less.

I didn’t think of it that way, but you’re right. Hell, Carmen and Harry are still alive! And Cicely just passed a year ago. Crazy.

 

[Politic Negro]

Yeah.

That’s Julius Harris.

That cat was in a shit load of Blaxploitation flicks and TV shows in the 1970s.

“Live And Let Die” is too some degree a Blaxploitation flick.
