Was also Jackie Robinson in a movie that made me uncomfortable during some of those scenes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doc Posted August 29, 2020 Author Share Posted August 29, 2020 Apparently he'd been battling it for 4 years, and Black Panther came out just 2 years ago (seems longer). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They said he didn't talk about it. I'm sure it was known to the studios because he would film between surgeries and chemo apparently I just don't think he ever made it public The guy who played Jackie Robinson in the Biopic dies on the day MLB rescheduled to honor Jackie....

Gambit Posted August 29, 2020 Share Posted August 29, 2020 ***** cancer! That is way to young for anybody to die. And for him to be going through that for 4 years and yet still managed to do movies like Black Panther... He's a real life hero.
