It’s actually crazy how many black folks are the faces behind some of favorite pop culture sci fi characters.


A few others off top:

Black stuntman was the original red ranger and green ranger


Black man was the predator(the Lakers roster was the LA hunting party at the end of Predator 2)


Black man was Barney the purple dinosaur


Of course the voice of Darth Vader was James Earl Jones

I was gonna add Harry and the Hendersons, but this was the same actor.

An addition to black stuntmen comment. Bill Cosby was instrumental in getting black stuntmen work in hollywood.

He forced hollywood to hire one of the first black stuntmen on the set of I Spy.

The black stuntman would later be one of the founding members of the black stuntmen's association.
