Wandering Along the Path: Right Speech

If people asked me who my favorite actor was I readily answered Daniel Day Lewis. But then he retired, so I began naming Chadwick Boseman. He was unrecognizable in each film, because he disappeared so completely into the role, as Day Lewis did. He portrayed Jackie Robinson, Thurgood Marshall, James Brown and others so powerfully he knocked your socks off. Now he has died at 43, downed by colon cancer. I am devastated. The loss to the film pantheon is immesurable. I have been assuming he'd win his Oscar soon. At least we have his handful of films to treasure.
