Yaphet Kotto, first Black James Bond villain and 'Alien' actor dead at 81
Yaphet Kotto, best known for roles in "Alien" and the James Bond film "Live and Let Die" has died at age 81.
The actor’s wife, Tessie Sinahon, issued a statement on Facebook Monday night announcing news of his passing. She did comment on a cause of death.
"I'm saddened and still in shocked of the passing of my husband Yaphet of 24 years. He died last night around 10:30pm Philippine time," she wrote. "This is a very painfall [sic] moment for me to inform you all fans, friends and family of my husband."
She continued by noting the many things Kotto apparently still wanted to accomplish prior to his death.
"We still have a lot of plans honey that we discussed you have a lot of interviews waiting and you have movie offers like G.I. Joe and the movie of Tom Cruise and others. You still have plan to release your book and build a religious organization based on Yogananda's Teachings," she wrote.
Kotto played dual roles in the 1973 Bond film "Live and Let Die" portraying the drug-pushing kingpin Mr. Big who turns out to be the alter-ego of Caribbean dictator Dr. Kananga opposite Roger Moore. He was the first Black man to portray a Bond villain and confessed to The Independent in a 2015 interview that the studio banned him from promoting the film for fear of a negative public reception to his race.

I do not disagree. The fact that they seem compelled to always add "in the arm(s)" seems to mean something, otherwise why not just say they are getting the shot?
