Title: RIP Roscoe Lee Browne
Post by: RGMike on April 21, 2007, 12:52:32 PM
The great black actor with the mellifluous, Shakespearean voice was 81.

I'll always remember him as the upper-class black man who got stuck in the elevator with Archie on All in the Family; he played countless roles in a 50-year career. And he'll live forever as the narrator of Babe.

Wasn't he one of the Huxtable father-in-laws as well?

IMDB says he was in 2 Cosby Show eps; no idea who he played. (I saw *maybe* 3 or 4 Cosby eps in its entire run.) But he WAS in Jumpin Jack Flash. :wink:

He was awesome as the cook in the John Wayne flick The Cowboys.  There's a great scene, him with a rope around his neck, and his "final" words with god:  "...forgive me for the men I've killed, and for those I am about to..."
