After finding an article on the Top Black Characters in Sci-Fi to be a bit off hand, I decided to do a photo essay of Black actors who have appeared or provided voices for sci-fi and fantasy roles. While most journalists seem to have to pull teeth for examples, my friends were able to think of a host of actors (all of whom with long acting rosters) in seconds. Thank you to Marsha, Chet, Fiona, Robert & Sarah E. for your assistance. (Note: the names of the actors are in random order)
