Rest in peace, Bill Nunn. 🕊️
A beloved American actor, Bill Nunn left behind an unforgettable legacy through his memorable performances in film, television, and theater.
He was best known for portraying Radio Raheem in Spike Lee’s critically acclaimed film Do the Right Thing. His powerful performance, particularly the iconic “Love and Hate” speech, became one of the most memorable moments in the movie.
Beyond that role, Nunn was widely recognized for playing Joseph “Robbie” Robertson, the Daily Bugle editor, in Sam Raimi’s Spider-Man trilogy, starring alongside Tobey Maguire. He also appeared in popular films such as New Jack City, Sister Act, Regarding Henry, Mo’ Better Blues, He Got Game, The Legend of 1900, and Runaway Jury.
On television, he was known for playing Terrence “Pip” Phillips in The Job and Cash in the comedy series Sirens. He also appeared in Chicago Hope, The X-Files, and The District.
Throughout his career, Nunn became a respected character actor, particularly through his collaborations with filmmaker Spike Lee. He also supported young performers through the Bill Nunn Theatre Outreach Project, helping bring theater opportunities to students in Pittsburgh.
Born October 20, 1953, in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, Bill Nunn passed away on September 24, 2016, at the age of 62, following a battle with leukemia.
Though he is gone, his unforgettable performances and the characters he brought to life will continue to entertain and inspire audiences for generations to come.
Thank you for the memorable performances, the iconic characters, and the lasting legacy you left behind, Bill Nunn.
Rest easy. You will never be forgotten. 🕊️

Your marriage will be a sermon to your children. They will either desire the kind of marriage you modeled for them or spend their lives trying to heal from what they witnessed. Give them an example worth following.

It is so hard to believe that I have been out of the game that long. One of my favorite memories of my career was how the #Silverdome woke up on that first carry.
In one carry the @Lions fans took me in and we had a great ride. I am sorry I could not bring that trophy to #detroit but I loved my days in the @NFL and would not trade it for anything.

After waiting on the sidelines until the 3rd Quarter, Barry rushed for 18 yards on his first carry, and followed up with a Touchdown later in the drive!
