Actor O.L. Duke Killed in N.Y. Car Crash

NEW YORK (AP) - Actor O.L. Duke, who appeared with Denzel Washington in the movies "Malcolm X,""Antwone Fisher" and "Out of Time," was killed in a car accident Friday, police and relatives said. He was 51.

Duke was returning home after performing in the off-Broadway play, "Waitin' 2 End Hell," when a car cut him off, said his wife, Monica Duke. His vehicle jumped a divider and struck an oncoming car, according to police.

Monica Duke said her husband was an avid actor who loved attending the theater. He often spoke enthusiastically about his work with other actors, including Washington, whom he counted as a friend, she said.

Duke found career success after he replaced Washington in the original production of "A Soldier's Play," his wife said.

He also appeared in the HBO series "Oz."

Oh man, gotta be kidding. :eek:

I always liked him! :(

I dont remember him in Malcolm X...but god, that was a phenomenal movie

That's sad. I don't remember seeing him in a movie, but I have seen the film in which he co-starred with Denzel Washington, "Out Of Time". That was a pretty good film. I'll have to watch the film again to see what character he played in "Out Of Time".
I don't know whether it's just me, but it seems as though a lot of people are dying these days. It's sad. :(

Sorry to hear this! Prayers and thoughts go to his family.
