Leonard Jackson (actor)
Leonard Jackson (February 7, 1928 - December 22, 2013) was an African American stage, film, and television actor, perhaps most widely known for his roles in several PBS television series for children as well as his roles in films such as ''The Brother from Another Planet'', ''Car Wash'', and ''The Color Purple''.
==Early years and stage career==
Jackson, in his early years known as L. Errol Jaye, was born February 7, 1928 in Jacksonville, Florida.〔 He served in the United States Navy during World War II. After attending Fisk University, his professional acting debut was on the stage, in New York Shakespeare Festival's 1965 off-Broadway production of ''Troilus and Cressida''.〔(John Willis' theatre world, Volume 28, page 241 ) from Google Books〕 In March 1968, he played Mr. Carpentier, the title character, in ''The Electronic Nigger'', part of a trio of one-act plays by Ed Bullins, during The American Place Theatre production of the play's premiere.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 url=http://www.lortel.org/lla_archive/index.cfm?search_by=show&id=3736 )〕 He played a pastor in the Broadway premiere of ''The Great White Hope'', which ran for over 500 performances at the Alvin Theatre during 1968-1970.〔(The Great White Hope ) from the Internet Broadway Database〕
As Leonard Jackson, he returned to Broadway two years later, first in the premiere of Conor Cruise O'Brien's ''Murderous Angels'' and after its short run, to a Broadway revival of the Kurt Weill musical ''Lost in the Stars'' at the Imperial Theatre.
A dozen years later, Jackson returned to Broadway for the premiere of ''Ma Rainey's Black Bottom'', which ran for 276 performances and was chosen "Best Play" by the New York Drama Critics Circle.〔(Ma Rainey's Black Bottom, with Goldberg and Dutton, Opens Feb. 6 ), a February 6, 2003 article from ''Playbill''〕 In 1991, Jackson was part of the cast for the Broadway premiere of ''Mule Bone'', an unfinished play written by Langston Hughes and Zora Neale Hurston.〔 The production, mounted for the first time sixty years after it was written, received a negative review by Frank Rich, who said the "three principal performers ... are at best likably amateurish, () their efforts are balanced by the assured center-stage turns of such old pros as Leonard Jackson, as a fuming man of the cloth, and Theresa Merritt."〔(A Difficult Birth For ''Mule Bone'' ), a February 15, 1991 review by Frank Rich of ''The New York Times''〕
