95%+ of WO'ers had no clue who that is, because they aren't old enough to have actually seen a movie that he was in. They had to google who he was.

I'm glad to be one of the 5% who knows who it is - so even though Sidney Poitier may have been in the shadow of great actors like Katharine Hepburn & Spencer Tracy in Guess Who's Coming to Dinner (1967), I personally remember him from that film in which he has achieved one of his best roles for me personally. RIP💐

I remember him in Duel at Diablo (1966). That western left an impression on me, as I watched it at a very young age. The scene near the end when the Indians torture one of the characters by leaving him naked to literally "bake" in the sun still haunts me to this day.
