Earlier this week, Richard Roundtree passed away at the age of 81 after a short battle with pancreatic cancer. “Richard’s work and career served as a turning point for African-American leading men,” said his agent Patrick McMinn. He paved the way for stars like Samuel L. Jackson and Denzel Washington. Did you know Dwayne Wade‘s wife, Gabrielle Union, had the opportunity of working with him?

Richard Roundtree was “the coolest man in the room”, says Union

Gabrielle was disheartened to hear the news. After hearing of his demise, Union took to social media to pay homage to the iconic actor. She initially posted an image of her and Richard together on the set of ‘Being Mary Jane‘.The 50-year-old actress captioned the post, “Working with Richard Roundtree was a dream. Getting to hang with him & our Being Mary Jane family was always a good a** time with the best stories & laughs. He was ALWAYS the coolest man in the room with the BEST vibes & ppl would literally run over to come see him. He was simply the best & we all loved him. #RIPRichardRoundtree.“
