original description

Zakes Mokae is in the shades and purple tie in the Graham Greene film, The Comedians, which also happened to star Richard Burton, Elizabeth Taylor, Alec Guinness, Raymond St. Jacques, Gloria Foster, James Earl Jones, and Georg Sanford Brown, among others, in 1967. [/caption] He was a great actor, best known for his work with Athol Fugard and in Fugard's anti-apartheid plays. I believe that I saw him in San Francisco in Master Harold...and the Boys, the play that won him the Tony, when it toured. More recently, Zakes Mokae appeared on shows like Oz, The West Wing, and The X-Files. Some of you may remember him in an exploitation film, The Serpent and The Rainbow with Bill Pullman and Cathy Tyson, where he played the Duvalier-era police chief and dreaded voodoo bokor. But Zakes Mokae was decidedly better than all that.
