Adolph Caesar Actor, voice-over artist, theatre director, dancer, and choreographer. Born in Harlem, New York City, U.S.A December 5, 1933 Died March 6, 1986, Los Angeles, California, U.S.A February is black history month which means it is a great time to honour the great Adolph Ceasar
who was born in Harlem, New York during the time of the great depression. He was born to a Dominican mother and black father, despite living in the time of racial segregation he would go on to play in the theatre and run his own shows albeit without much recognition. His career in film began in 1969 when he featured in the film Che! playing the role of Juan Almeida Bosque the Cuban political leader. He was the voice behind a number of theatrical trailers, but his fame came in his appearance in the movie “A Soldier's Story” in which he was nominated for an Academy Award and Golden Globe Award for Best Supporting Actor. He was also given much praise for his role in the award-winning book “The Colour Purple” which was adapted to film by Steven Spielberg featuring Danny Glover, Oprah Winfrey, and Whoopi Goldberg. Adolph Caesar hosted a documentary about Bruce Lee and who will be his successor in the 1979 Karate championship. Caesar was praised by his peers for being a brilliant actor as he was able to become the role he had to play. He was one of the first Black actors up there with Whoopi Goldberg and Danny Glover to feature in major films and inspire young black people. It is a sad fact that many actors have a stressful , life staying up late working on their films seldom getting home in time to give love to their families yet the whole world is looking at them and loving their work. Perhaps Adolph’s dedication to his work cost him his life, he died in 1986, in the same year he was working on the film Tough Guys when he had a heart attack he was cast for the role of Leon B. Little, but suffered from a heart attack and died shortly afterwards. |
AuthorMy name is Adolph, and you can imagine how many strange situations I have been in because of it. Often people are shocked, offended or confused when I introduce myself. Some show concern and suggest that I use my second name or use a nickname to avoid this awkwardness. This experience motivated me to start this Blog project to inform the world about all the other Adolphs, depreciated and forgotten who, nethertheless, changed this world to a better place. Archives
