- Delroy Lindo is a man of many accomplishments. He’s got a Tony Award nomination to his name and loads of stellar credits including Malcolm X, The Cider House Rules and now Spike Lee’s Da 5 Bloods, which will hopefully keep him mighty busy this awards season. But do you know what else is a significant achievement on his filmography? Delivering a line of dialogue that transcends a movie and becomes iconic - the line, “Stop eating my sesame cake,” in Congo.
Lindo has one scene in the 1995 release, but it’s one of the most memorable moments of the movie due to his screen presence and dialogue delivery. Lindo steps in as Captain Wanta, a local militia leader who ultimately grants the main ensemble safe passage during their mission. As soon as Karen (Laura Linney), Monroe (Ernie Hudson) and Herkermer Homolka (Tim Curry) sit down to chat, Lindo’s character insists that they indulge in coffee and cake. Later on, while Homolka is doing just that, Wanta shouts, “Stop eating my sesame cake!” And right then and there, history is made.
Check out what Lindo had to see about working on Congo in this clip from his episode of Collider Connected!

Love this scene Delroy Lindo is a treasure 😊❤️
The world is in need of a movie centered on Captain Wanta
An intelligent and cool dude. Much respect
Definitely.
One of my most quoted scenes, still has me in hysterics. I recently acquired the board game, I wonder if that scene is referenced..."Stop eating my sesame cake, move back 20 spaces"
😂😂😂😂
Man, I love Delroy Lindo. He's been one of my favorite character actors since the '90s...he seems like a real sweet guy.
He nailed the role so well, I didn't even realize he was an actor in real life.
That's going and is a popular quote in "Congo".
Mr. Moka, stop eating my sesame cake.
STOP EATING MY SESAME CAKE ‼️
The best scene in the whole movie lol
Delroy Lindo is the MAN!!!
Ahhh I wished they could get him to say that line on camera! LOL
He did. He said it in unison with Perri.
i still say that line to people. only cool people get it. haha. he better get oscar nominated for da 5 bloods.
Been saying this randomly through my day lol people think I'm crazy. And I love yelling "Have some"!!!!!!
You mean ”Rrrrrat” lmao I love how he rolls the R in that word. Surely an iconic scene, beautiful movie I saw as a kid... She blew up that diamond boy... Omg that's also a good scene
I'm so glad to hear that line has become iconic with other people. My friends and I have been saying it since we were kids. Congo is one of the most unintentionally quotable movies ever, and the hotel scene is among the most memorable
HAVE SOME
The 3 actors that were the prime reason why I loved this movie as a child are obviously Delroy Lindo, Ernie Hudson, and Tim Curry.
Dude stole the whole movie. If nothing else is remembered from this movie, it would be this.
My wife and I yell this at each other all the time! 😂😂😂
Captain Wanta stop you from eating his sesame cake!
This role in Congo was fantastic and in the movie the core as dr braz
The most recognizable line in the entire movie
He’s literally the highlight of the movie. Which is saying a lot because Tim curry is great in it as well.

I randomly say that line around the house.

His best role to me is West indian Archie in Malcom X by Spike Lee
finall saw this movie couple years ago and didn't realize that was from congo till I saw it lol

Rad. What a cool guy
Legendary
I kind of like the part where you stapling the money and hiding it
I asked Dylan Walsh from Congo on an app called Cameo
Since I loved him in Congo and I asked him if they ever do a sequel of Congo
He said absolutely! I would love to go back in the jungle and see what Amy is doing all these years even after I asked him that I really wanted to buy the rights from Marshall and Kennedy and do a sequel where Zinj is still in Africa and that the origins of the lost city is now taken over by the CIA half of travicom and The Congo Detention Facility
