So, this year we lost both Lance Reddick, a bald black actor for a cop show set in Baltimore and Andre Braugher, a bald black actor for a cop show set in Baltimore.

 

Not to be that guy, but I can't help but notice we've lost A LOT of tremendous actors in the last couple few years who happen to be of a darker persuasion. I'm not saying conspiracy, just saying we are missing A LOT of tremendous actors who happen to have a darker complexion as of late.

 

Oh man it was just his birthday on the 11th no less.

 

I have to say, his role in City of Angels alongside Nick Cage, I mean he's always been a hell of a supporting actor but damn he really killed it in that film emotionally for me.

I'm not sure we're seeing a trend, do you have actual stats on that? The only reason I can think of any is doctors frequently admit there have been less studies on the genetically specific diseases black and brown people are predisposed to but that's always been the case, that's not a recent thing. Frequently with middle-aged black men specifically it's genetically heart related though, you can assume that Lance Reddick and Andre Braugher may have both had something related to the heart and/or cholesterol in some way is my guess.

I don't think he's saying all of them have been young, just notable black actors. Like Sindey Poitier died last year.

Furthermore, both of them were approximately the same age when they passed away.
