What Happened To 'LEON'? - Unforgotten 

He should have gotten a Oscar for playing David Ruffin Amazing actor!

Look up the word "versatile" and you'd see brother Leon's face next to it. All around talent...."Ain't nobody coming to see you Otis!!!!"

This man is a super legend. Ain’t nobody forget about LEON

Leon is definitely underrated I legit watched The Five Heartbeats this morning

No one has forgotten about Leon! Many of these forgotten people are still relevant in my opinion.

No mention of "Cool Runnings" which was the biopic about the first Jamaican 🇯🇲 bobsled team in which Leon was one of the lead roles in the movie wasn't mentioned in this video.

He such a talent. A great Actor/ Performer and has some memorable roles!

Leon will NEVER be forgotten HE'S one of the BEST actors we have in showbiz

Leon is My Guy!!!! I Met Him at A Celebrity Basketball Game in 1998. Cool Cat. Killer Bee in Colors, Unforgettable!

Leon to me is one of the coolest actors in the industry. Hollywood hasn't recognized his talent. Watch him in the action flick Cliffhanger with Sly Stallone, he plays a villian and gives one of the best performances I've seen in film.

“Ain’t nobody comin to see you Otis” was improvised 🤯 woooow, lol the actual actor didn’t like hearing it either 😂

Leon definitely was in some classic films. I don’t know what my childhood would be without him

Leon is a cool brotha'.I met him years ago at this spot in the city.Him and his band was awesome!So happy you covered this story about him.He's super talented.

Leon is such a versatile actor, he did the parts of David Ruffin and JT like no one else could..just miss seeing him in movies

The fact that some people still don’t know The Five Heartbeats are fictional characters speaks volumes

Thank you, LEON. If the real David Ruffin was alive today (he died in June of 1991), he would've given you a hug and appreciated you for making his name relevant again and (arguably) made David Ruffin a bigger star.

Comedy hype really put together a video saying that this man played as the husband to Lela Rochon character in waiting to Exhale. she was his mistress. He wouldn't leave his wife for her. But he got her pregnant, then she dumped him because he wouldn't divorce his wife. Come on Comedy hype. But it was dope to find out he improvised one of the most famous lines in black cinema, potentially all cinema, with that "Ain't nobody come to see you Otis!" 😂😂😂

Not a chance I'll forget him! I met him in the early 2000s when I was 16, I was fan of his since his appearance in HBO's Oz. He was in my hometown for Christmas to visit family and came to our Key Club table in a book store to have some books he just purchased wrapped. I was too nervous to ask for an autograph but I said Hi and how nice it was to meet him and shook his hand. So handsome in person! My friend had no clue what was going on as I was freakin' out next to her. Always remember that day when I see him on TV!

Leon as David Ruffin was so rememberable that most people call him David Rufgin & not his given name ( the gift & curse) of being a great actor

Leon is without a doubt one of the goats of all movie stars a very talented actor 4 show 💯💯💯✊🏽.

I always loved him and admired him, I always thought he was one of the coolest actors out there, I can never forget Leon

Whoever's reading this, i pray that whatever you're going through gets better and whatever you're struggling with or worrying about is going to be fine and that everyone has a fantastic day! Amen

“Ain’t nobody coming to see you Otis!” That line will live on forever

"Ain't nobody comin' to see you, OTIS!"

Since the beginning, have always thought he was a extraordinary performer. Much success to Leon and his family.

Leon!!!! So talented! Can play anybody!

He hasn't worked enough as he deserved for his talent abilities.... sadly. Thx for the biography on him!

Leon’s been working consistently for over 35 years just saw him on City on a hill.

I love him in everything 😍. He has such a cool charisma about him. It's very natural.

I heard him sing live here in Baltimore. He opened for Berris Hammond. He has a beautiful voice

He was also in a movie call COVER & did a very good well outstanding performance 🎥🍿

How could you forget to mention his role in Cool Runnings? Man that movie was and is still a Classic.

I first saw Leon who played a saint/innocent man accused of murder in Madonna's 1989 Like a Prayer music video.

"Aint nobody coming to see you Otis !" 😂😂😂 Ah man, I've always thought Leon should have been bigger than what he is.

Wow, I always wondered what happened to this guy. I remember him from Cliffhanger . I’m glad that I caught this one .

I know Leon was written out of HBO's Oz, to work on the Temptations, but his character Jefferson Keane was one of the best short lived, on that show. He would have remained the most popular had he not been killed off. He's such a natural.

They really didn’t highlight “Cool Runnings”. That was a huge hit.

Imo the most underrated actor of all time. He should've been getting Denzel level roles

He played that role of David Ruffin in the Temptations bio. Leon is dope.

Leon is an Amazing Actor, he also played a DL man in the movie "Cover" and like in everything else, he played the H*LL out of that role. I would watch any movie he's in, Real Talent. 💯💯👍👍

Leon was fantastic as David Ruffin in The Temptations movie. I don't know if he ever won any awards for the role in this movie. I hope he did as he's extremely talented.

I appreciate the brief picture, but they rarely ever mention his role as Warlord in BAND OF THE HAND. He was amazing in that picture as well. One of his first (if not his first) movie.

As a younger brother who has a brother named Otis, that line became my favorite go to with him lol

I was wondering what happened to that fine azz man!

Leon is the G.O.A.T how many other black artists are summed up with 1 name?!?!?! Prince and Leon.

Leon played a significant role in the movie "The Women of Brewster Place" alongside Robin Givens. He played her boyfriend in the movie and was portrayed as an admirable figure working with children in the community to recreate a modern urban version of A Midsummer's Night Dream.

"AND I REFUSE TO LET YOU GO!" Leon as David Ruffin. Best line ever in The Temptations! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

I love Leon!! Thank you for highlighting his particular excellence.

Give Leon his flowers while he can still smell em. Solid Actor!

I met him in 2018, after a concert he did with his band, and he was so nice to me and my girlfriend. And yes fine as ever in person!

Leon's name holds a bit of weight in movies and films bro. Hes a veteran definitely Salute Leon 🗽

STRAIGHT #LEGEND! Nothing else to be said. 🤴🏿 👑

What is it about this man? The older he gets the better he looks. Or is it just me?🤷🏾‍♀️

Damn, he is still fine and so talented. He is well loved and will never be forgotten. ❤️❤️❤️

After looking back to above the rim, Leon can definitely play a bio pic on the late great bill Russell.

One of my favorite actors to watch God bless you and your family 🙏🏾.

Anyone else notice Madonna and how she move thru brothas.....Leon, Bobby Brown Tupac Dennis Rodman.....we see you Madonna

Leon will never be forgotten!!!

And Don't Forget Cool Runnings He Was In that too

Excellent presentation! There’s only one Leon and there will never be another. ♥️

One of my top actors! Since the Five Heartbeats Leon is truly Legendary💙

I seen him on the A Train last year he smell so good and he’s very handsome and put together in person I was scared to say hi but he gave me a nice smile 😊

Leon is the MAN! He is absolutely an unforgettable superstar! Like Chadwick, he can play many different roles. His wealth should be aligned to his awesome talent.

He’s the first black Jesus I ever saw as a child 💚 I’m surprised this video didn’t mention the iconic role he had in Like A Prayer

I just realized that this is Cynthia Bailey's Leon.

He low key the GOAT💯

My best movie is when he play in the temptation he played his part to perfection not only is he handsome he's very tall and he's musical 🌹❤️

The five heartbeat is still one of the best movie of all time Leon will never be forgotten stay blessed brother

Cool Runnings was the shit!

They didn't mention the movie Cover in 2007. That movie was talked about for weeks. Men who was married but seeing men also. It opened a lot of eyes for a lot of women.

The 5 heartbeats lil Richard the temptations...my all time faves😍

Leon has always been a BIG STAR in my eyes. AMEN 🙏

His daughter with cynthia bailey looks just like him! And i love that her name is an anagram of his. Leon - Noel🥰

LeOn is THE MAN!!

I was an extra for “The Temptations”. Can confirm, he 100% stays in character

My father liked his films Cliffhanger, Above the rim, cool runnings. My father speculated two things about Leon, he saw the true ugliness of Hollywood and decided to step away or the fame was too much for him.

Always a pleasure seeing this actor work. Leon was great in the series Oz and Madonna's music video "like a prayer" as well.

I love him. He’s awesome. I’ve followed his career since Madonna like who is that guy???? I was blown away by all of his performances.

He was a "savage" in Sylvester Stallone's action thriller "CLIFFHANGER" 1993 🎬

I love Leon! I just watched the Temptations (literally) on Netflix today and love the movie bc of him. I loved him in The five heart beats too. I first saw him in Maddona's video I can't remember if it was like prayer or like a virgin, I was young watching it.🤷‍♀️

Mr Robinson and his girlfriend are some of my good clients. He’s is that cool guy, and basically the guy he always plays in his movies. Always a A1 stand up guy with me.

This man is an very great actor

Call me toxic but the the 2020 congratulations post to Cynthia was some of the most playa shit I’ve ever heard

He played a Great Little Richard

I love Leon! He was very perfect to all different roles especially the temptations that he embodied david ruffin to act like him! He such an amazing actor. he is sure deserves getting more flowers. 💐 and Hollywood walk a fame about his life. 💯

Nobody will forget David Ruffin he played that roll, waiting to Exhale ! Five heartbeats, he is currently playing a pastor in the Chi and his lovely daughter I'm surprised she not in show biz they have a good relationship . Both her parents are stars in someway , she's not shy but she didn't want to leave her mother for college . I lived on campus two years but it was only a small school and it was about 15 min away from my mother's house I wasn't fortunate to have a decent father , their daughter seems to know she's blessed all kind of ways .

Man these dude is one of the best no cap the David Ruffin role is the one for me that had me like wow

Good actor, God bless Leon

He's a hellava actor with some very memorable lines

Actor who is the musical actor who was forgotten. You are the Best!

Leon will always be remembered and much loved.

The amount of times I have seen the five heartbeats. My grandmothers house would always ring this out

I remember when Leon did a role in which he played a gay mistress. I always thought that phucked up his career

Love Leon...what a wonderful actor! God bless him.

Leon is a dynamic, versatile Legend.💯❤

Love this video! One thing though, he wasn’t Lela’s husband in Waiting to Exhale, she was his mistress, his character was married to someone else.

Leonie a wonderful actor. He nailed the roles of David Ruffin and Little Richard perfectly!

Leon is a very talented and versatile actor. Not 2 mention how handsome he is. He has the looks, and definitely has the acting skills 2 play any role he takes on . He had several iconic, memorable lines n The Five Heartbeats and The Temptations movies that are classic and just plain unforgettable! Leon is tops n my book! Keep giving us u, Leon!! We love u! ❤️

I have always liked Leon's film work.

He needs to be reconized more he is a man of many faces much talent no one can touch him he has his own style very respected we know why today he isnt making movies but they cant stop his shine much love to ya my brother
