i recently watched Alien again
but anyway, yeah he was a very very talented actor, also Live and Let Die is my mom's favourite Bond movie and soundtrack
RIP Yaphet
reason why he lived in philippines is his last wife is from there Tessie Sinahon (whom he married back in 1998)
also another fun fact, he almost was chosen to play Jean-Luc Picard (a role that ultimately went to Patrick Stewart
