One of the leading black film actors of the 1960s and 70s, Brock Peters was possessed of one deepest, richest voices in show business, and distinguished himself with a long series of memorable and moving performances, most notably opposite Gregory Peck as the unjustly accused defendent in the film version of novelist Harper Lee's "To Kill a Mockingbird" (1962). The actor began his 60-year career as a teenager on Broadway in a 1943 revival of the musical "Porgy and Bess" and moved easily among live theater, motion pictures and television.
