Just had a series of movie gangsters that died within a short period of time, and now there's been a series of older black celebs that have been dying recently.

God is taking in groups it seems.

Roger Mosley was a major reason for the success of Magnum PI.
The way Mr. Mosley portrayed T.C. made you feel the chemistry and friendship between Magnum, T.C. and Rick was real.
If I'm not mistaken, Mr. Mosley portrayed the 1st successful (non-scifi) Black man who was a pilot on TV.
Roger played T.C. as being funny but he wasn't cooning, nor was he comic relief or some unintelligent thug or a big Black buck.

Thank you Mr. Mosley for the memories and for always being an excellent example of Black intelligence and masculinity.
RIP Theodore Calvin (T.C.)

I like how the writers of "Magnum P.I." changed up his role from a struggling owner of a helicopter company to a well-off owner who got Magnum out of money problems.
