He was brilliant as Mr Tibbs 'In the heat of the night'.

Aww, I heard To Sir With Love on Gold Radio the other day, it brought back memories of the excellent film.
What a wonderful actor he was, so handsome too.

Excellent actor. R.I.P

He was lovely, wasn't he? RIP

Yes he was lovebeigecardigans. 94 it never occurred to me he would be that old. R.I.P. .

Huge admiration for him- I will always rmember seeing 'Guess who is coming for dinner' as a teenager.

A wonderful actor. I loved him as the teacher in 'To Sir With Love'. RIP.

Agree AGAA4 he was brilliant in "In The Heat of the Night".
I didn't realise he was that old either. A very talented actor. RIP

Everything he acted in was worth watching ,I loved him in the Hear of the Night and it ssequel but my favourite was Guess who's Coming to Dinner ,the rest of the cast in that were all brilliant ,

Let's hope some of his films will be repeated soon TV now.

Yes, a lovely man and a great actor. I didn't realise he was 94.

RIP Sidney Poitier

The first man (actor) I fell in love with in To sir with love

No only a great actor and a very handsome man but a great activist too greatly admired

The father of six girls

Yes, To Sir With Love. I used to wish we'd get a teacher like him but it never happened. Lovely man who lived his life well

Loved his voice. To Sir with Love I can remember going to see at cinema. ?

To Sir with Love my daughter's favourite film. RIP Sidney.

A fabulous human being, who made a huge difference in many aspects. RIP

So handsome.

A long life, well lived.

I am going to look out my copy of In The Heat of the Night and watch it again. Great actor R.I.P

He played the detective in Deadly Pursuit - excellent. RIP ?

One of the greats, reaching a great age. I remember him from Guess Who's Coming to Diner, and To Sir With Love. I also remember his wife, Joanna Shimkus in D H Lawrence's, The Virgin and the Gypsy but didn't see her in anything after that.

Someone dies and you think "I really wish I'd met that person"

He is one such person.

I wasn't so impressed with "Call me Mr Tibbs", but loved an old early film "The Defiant Ones" with Tony Curtis. If I remember right it was his first Oscar nomination (didn't win) ...... would it maybe have been best supporting actor since I'd imagine Tony Curtis was a bigger name at the time? I should google and appear all intelligent

'The Defiant Ones' was a powerful movie, a white and back man chained together escape from prison and have to endure all manner of hardships while travelling on foot and still chained together. They had no choice but to work together. That is the one that sticks in my memory.

RIP Mr Poitier, you will be sadly missed. He was just wonderful.

In the Heat of the Night Is on TV tonight
