25 Movie Talents We Lost In 2016
12. Bill Nunn
Actor Bill Nunn got his big break in Spike Lee’s critically acclaimed sophomore film School Daze in 1988 – a successful collaboration they repeated a year later in Lee’s Academy Award nominated third film, Do the Right Thing.
During the 1990s Nunn had parts in films including comedy Sister Act, Michael Moore’s only non-documentary film Canadian Bacon and neo-noir thriller Things to Do in Denver When You’re Dead.
More recently he appeared as Daily Bugle
editor and Peter Parker cheerleader Joseph ‘Robbie’ Robertson in Sam Raimi’s
Spider-Man reboot and in the Depression-era set hip hop musical Idlewild
alongside Outkast members Andre 3000 and Big Boi.
