It is a great movie, re-watched it a few months ago. I first saw him in The Heat of the Night, made the same year as Sir. Virgil Tibbs. Electrifying.

Watching him I thought he was not just a great actor but a great man. Or that he wasn't acting, he was just himself in the situations film scripts put him into.
