Prophet 251 Posted August 10, 2017 Earl Cameron has celebrated his 100th birthday on tuesday. He was Britain's first black film star. I think some people know him for his role in Inception, or James Bond. I think he is a possible candidate for the Death List next year. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

msc 18,477 Posted August 10, 2017 I'm going to wait for someone else to mention that he is the oldest living actor to appear in Doctor Who, so I don't look like someone with a one track mind. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I caught on to the Fred thing right away but I thought it was a completely random "Enoch Powell on a pogo stick"-type non sequitur until I saw your post.

That's 2 black actors from the classic series of Who dead in th e last few days after Louis Mahoney. R.I.P 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
