RIP Chadwick Boseman - King T'Challa. He was an amazing actor. I read a story about him when BP came out. He bought out all the tickets for either 1st showing or 1st day at the movie theater in his hometown. He took his Mom, all his family and all the children in town. He wanted the children to see a Super Hero from their hometown on the big screen. Good Morning America ran a wonderful tribute to him this morning. In 1 piece, he was doing a press tour and spoke about 2 kids that had cancer that were Black Panther fans and he would talk to them daily. Either 1 or both passed during the filming and he broke down and started to cry. Chadwick was a role model for everyone and an amazing hero in real life. Black Panther would not have been the success it was without him.
