10 Black Characters That Refused To Die First

7. Deep Blue Sea €“ Preacher (played by LL Cool J)

In search of a cure for Alzheimer's Disease a bunch of scientists start experimenting with monkey's brains. No, wait, this isn't Rise Of The Planet Of The Apes. Sorry. When a bunch of scientists experiment with sharks brains in an underwater research facility, they unknowingly create a trio of intelligent killing machines.

After the sharks escape and start chowing down, Preacher, a cook who everyone forgets about until he shows up to save them, has a few run ins with the deadly creatures, including an instance where one of them attempts to cook him alive inside his own oven (they're intelligent now, remember?). Against all odds, Preacher makes it out (relatively) unscathed. Unfortunately, the same cannot be said about his pet bird.
