Saw Richard Roundtree in quite a number of things over the years, Original Gangstas, Se7en, City Heat, Maniac Cop, The Hollywood Squares, Magnum PI, George of the Jungle, The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, LA Law, Desperate Housewives, and a lot of others, he had 50 years worth of credits. He will be missed, rest well in heaven Richard Roundtree.

Maybe Roundtree was TOO big of a juggernaut to involve in any meaningful way. Though by the time Tarantino was making waves Roundtree was already in his 60s.
