They call him The Late Mister Tibbs

In addition to his superb acting career and knighthood, he was also the Bahamian ambassador to Japan and UNESCO and sat on the board of directors of Disney.
I had a job in the early 90’s that involved reading/analyzing corporate Annual Reports. I was pleasantly surprised to see his name while reading the one for Disney.

One of my fave movie lines. He was something else in that movie (as was Rod Steiger).
