Never mind all the charm and talent. That much of Isiah is always onscreen and utterly obvious.
Instead, a last word to let everyone know what isn't evidenced on film: He was an even better person than he was an actor; a warm and gracious delight of a man. Goodbye, friend.

"Whitlock didn’t steal scenes as much as he elevated them, becoming a part of the fabric of storytellers like David Simon and Spike Lee, who knew exactly how to use this stealthy genius,” writes @briantallerico.bsky.social in his tribute to the late Isiah Whitlock Jr.
A Brilliant Actor and Even Better Person: Isiah Whitlock Jr. (1954-2025) | Tributes | Roger Ebert
A tribute to the star of The Wire and several Spike Lee joints.

I wrote a short essay on the pilot episode of TWIN PEAKS. It's a perfect episode of television. Almost everything that you need to understand about the series is shown in the first half hour.

An absolutely wonderful, versatile, powerful and powerfully funny actor who enlivened everything he was in, and a huge loss. I'm not going to say the word, but we're all thinking it in his honor. RIP Isiah Whitlock. deadline.com/2025/12/isia...

This is true and I was the only one on set excited about it (and playing the song on my phone to blank stares)
Just watched the new Knives Out and I think it's really important you know that the scene in the Seminary's Gym is filmed in the same place Rick Astley filmed the music video for Never Gonna Give You Up.
I saw the window tracery and immediately made my friends pause the film so I could tell them.

‘Pluribus’ May Be Slow, but It Was Never Boring
Vince Gilligan's Apple sci-fi drama 'Pluribus' has been criticized for its slow pace, but the show is never boring.
