RIP old man and thanks for sending Nino Brown to hell!!!!
Cobbs served in the U.S. Air Force as a radar technician for eight years; he also worked in office products at IBMand sold cars in Cleveland. In 1970, at the age of 36, he left for New York to seek work as an actor. He supported himself by driving a cab, repairing office equipment, selling toys, and performing odd jobs.[3]
Cobb credits Reuben Silver with his start in acting at the African American Performing Arts Center and Karamu House Theatre in Cleveland Ohio.[4] His first professional acting role was in Ride a Black Horse at the Negro Ensemble Company. From there, he appeared in small theater productions, street theater, regional theater, and at the Eugene O'Neill Theatre.
As an amateur actor in the city's Karamu House Theater, Cobbs starred in the Ossie Davis play Purlie Victorious. Cobbs was in Vegetable Soup (1976), a New York public television educational series, and he made his feature film debut in The Taking of Pelham One Two Three in 1974. Cobbs has an extensive film career and has appeared and been a regular on many television programs, including The Michael Richards Show; The Outer Limits; I'll Fly Away; Yes, Dear; The Sopranos; Six Feet Under; The Others; JAG; The Drew Carey Show; October Road; One Tree Hill; Star Trek: Enterprise (as Dr. Emory Erickson, inventor of the Transporter); and many more. He had a recurring role as George, a blind grief-support-group member, in the TV series, Go On, which premiered in 2012.
In 2006, Cobbs played a supporting role in Night at the Museum[5] as Reginald, a security guard on the verge of retirement. The character also served as an antagonist to the story. He played basketball coach and retired basketball player Arthur Chaney in Disney's Air Bud and Medgar Evers's older brother Charles Evers in Rob Reiner's Ghosts of Mississippi. He had a role in the Coen Brothers' The Hudsucker Proxy and played fictional jazz pianist Del Paxton in Tom Hanks's That Thing You Do. He has a brief appearance in the 2010 film The Search for Santa Paws.
In 2013, Cobbs co-starred in Oz the Great and Powerful[6] as the Master Tinker, and in late 2014 reprised his role of Reginald in Night at the Museum: Secret of the Tomb. He recorded a public service announcement for Deejay Ra's Hip-Hop Literacy2 campaign, encouraging reading of Ice-T's autobiography.
In 2020, he guest starred in the two-part series finale of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., portraying an unnamed elderly S.H.I.E.L.D. agent.

You did great work ~!
You did great work ~!
Not to derail the read but most people have never noticed how Ice-T almost fucked this scene up.
Go to the 15 second mark and peep how confused Ice-T is and how he almost grabbed him before he shit Nino.
You can tell he's looking at the people behind the camera because he's confused
Now that’s a fucking legendary t-shirt in the making
May he rest in peace. 90 years old is a great age. Born in Cleveland Ohio, my hometown. While I'm sure he will see the heavens gates, him saying, "Your soul is required is hell," is forever famous
As a veteran, Bill Cobbs is my brother from another mother. May he rest in peace. Fair winds and following seas
Rest in Peace
