RIP JI-TU CUMBUKA 1942-2017

Anyone who watched black horror films in the 70's will remember this 6'5" actor.

Cumbuka starred in many films over the years but is remembered for his role as a wrestler in the TV miniseries of the 70's called Roots.

Cumbuka also starred in such films as "Blacula", "Change Of Habit", "Brian's Song", and did TV shows such as "The Six Million Dollar Man", "Get Christie Love" and "Night Gallery".

He may not be a well known name, but this tall black actor always gave great performances, no matter how big or small. He died on July 4th at the age of 77.
