I don’t know much about the actor’s personal life.

But the character of Uncle Phil was probably the only Black Republican portrayed on a popular show (Carlton too). A positive portrayal at that.

He was also the voice of Shredder on the “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles” Cartoon from the late 80’s/early 90’s.

May he rest in piece.

I don’t recall if his judge character was a Republican (since it was L.A. County in the ‘90s, after all). Carlton was, of course, though he was played as a bit of a dork.

The Twitter comment was a bit tasteless, but c’est la Twitter.
