I wonder if Mazikeen (Leslie Ann Brandt) in Lucifer qualifies? As enforcer or protector, she sometimes acts the hero.
I'm not even sure if she is black. Watching Spartacus on DVD lately, so seeing lots of her nekkid scenes. She does steal the scenes when not nekkid, or in head/face close-ups.

Solomon Northup (Chewy) in 12 Years A Slave.

And somehow I forgot Samuel L. Jackson was in Star Wars.


I keep thinking of Sidney Poitier, but was he too cerebral in Mr. Tibbs to be hero?

I generally forget Predator 2, but Danny Glover was in it.

How did we forget Zoe Washburne? I guess I don't think of her, pigeonhole her ad black.
I didn't get the hero vibe from Book. Did Mal have any other War Buddies who were black?

Samuel L. Jackson was not good in the Star Wars prequels. He wasn't bad either. He just was.

It's no wonder you forgot about him in those. IMHO it was his least memorable role. To his credit, I don't think it was any fault of his own. A "family picture" isn't really in his wheelhouse, and I don't think any of the actors had much at all to work with. You could pretty much say the same thing about any one of the top tier acting talent in those movies.

Do Right, Be Right. :)
