Yaphet Kotto is an actor in several movies that I like. Some of them are Westerns. Some of them are Action. Some of them are from the Blaxploitation genre. Through them all, Yaphet Kotto always makes an impression.
With that in mind, I thought it would be a good idea to see what wisdom we can find from the movies of Yaphet Kotto.
