    I saw Clifton at the airport probably close to 10 years ago. He seem a little irritated but I spoke to him and told him he played a great Dr. King and he stopped in his tracks and said “ thank you brother” with relief. “ somebody finally recognize I don’t do silly shit all the damn time”. I could tell that meant a lot to hear that.

    This is how you know Clifton Powell does his job with 200% effectiveness: Not only does he play a role, he creates a soul for the character that is so real, that the audience is helplessly drawn into an alternate reality where they cannot differentiate between the talent and the projection of that talent. Clifton Powell has created iconographic screen imagery and timeless voice acting. This man is an inspiration. You cannot hide someone of this magnitude - they will always rise.

    I will ALWAYS be a Clifton Powell fan. I’ve been watching him since the late 1980’s w/ his BRILLIANT PERFORMANCE on “Roc.” Although yes, he has played gritty characters there’s too many to mention, Mr. Powell has played those roles so BRILLIANTLY that even when I see those past performances it still sends chills down my spine. It’s saddens me that folks can’t separate Mr. Powell’s characters & him being the GREAT MAN of INTEGRITY!!!!
