Ossie Davis (1917 - 2005)

Film Deaths[]

Grumpy Old Men (1993) [Chuck]: Dies of a heart attack (off-screen).
Get on the Bus (1996) [Jeremiah]: Dies of a heart attack on the bus.
Bubba Ho-Tep (2002) [John F. 'Jack' Kennedy]: Killed by the mummy (Bob Ivy), after fighting him off long enough to protect Bruce Campbell, he spends his final moments talking to him.

Television Deaths[]

Night Gallery (1969 TV) [Osmond Portifoy]: Presumably killed (off-screen) by Roddy McDowall after Roddy comes back from the dead. The story ends with Ossie reacting in terror to the changing painting showing Roddy emerging from the grave, but the implication of his fate is pretty clear.
The Stand (1994 mini series) [Judge Richard Farris]: Machine-gunned (ending with an off-screen shot to the head) by Sam Raimi by the side of the road. (See also Gabrielle Rose in the 2020 version.)
