Brock Peters.. RIP

[unclehobart]

Most of us may not know Brock Peters... but most of us would recognize his deep bass voice if we heard it. He was best known for his heartbreaking performance as the black man falsely accused of rape in “To Kill a Mockingbird.” He died Tuesday at his home after battling pancreatic cancer. He was 78. Others of us would remember him as Sisko's father in Star Trek: Deep Space Nine.

And we lose yet another great actor. Cue the wanna-bee replacement.
