I always admired Joe Morton as one of the most elegant on screen presences ever. He has such dignity, such gravitas, such force in anything I’ve ever seen him in. I was VERY surprised to learn that he only recently received an Emmy. I see and hear Tony Tony Tony every time I see him. lol

Jasmine Guy had a crush on him when he played Senator Byron Douglas on A Different World whom she changed her mind on at the altar to marry Dwayne Wayne. Joe has an undeniable charm, fantastic smile/laugh, a great voice & is Immensely talented. Getting older helps remove fear because we have less time to waste on nonsense Congratulations, Well-Earned & Deserved!

Papa Pope is an icon. Definitely looking forward to the new show! 🥳

[olijadu]

Joe is a boss, never seen him play a stereotypical role, he is always a scientist or a police officer anytime i see him on screen, lol

[yahainHotPink]

He's a great actor!! Our Kind of People is an addictive show!

[suzanj]

Brother from Another Planet has done extraordinary!

[fostoriajohnson]

Whatever role I see him play. I always assume it an amazing movie, show, or series just because he is a part of it.

[ronarprefect]

I've been a huge fan ever since I saw him in "The Brother From another Planet". He is one of the few actors that can convincingly play a genius.

I use to pick up Joes recyclables on Gordonhurst in Montclair Nj back in the early 2000s. Very cool lowkey guy.Gave great Christmas tips. But I sure as hell don't miss that job.🤣

[ellenadams]

He damn sure deserved that Emmy for Scandal!

[missvianney]

Just watched his episode in House wow! I was agonizing over the suffering he expressed, I could hardly breathe

[bettydavis]

I remember Joe Morton when he came to New Haven CT.
He was filming a show in the neighborhood. He is a great person.

Loved him as Byron Douglas on A Different World!!!
