On December 30th, 2025, we lost Isiah Whitlock Jr., the legendary actor who brought us Senator Clay Davis and television's most iconic catchphrase. He was 71 years old.
This video explores the remarkable life and career of Isiah Whitlock Jr., from his humble beginnings as a steel mill worker's son in Indiana to becoming one of television's most beloved character actors. Discover how a football injury led him to acting, how his uncle Leon inspired the catchphrase that would define his career, and how a single word stretched to nine syllables became a cultural phenomenon.
We cover his breakthrough role on HBO's The Wire, his collaborations with Spike Lee across six films, the incredible story of his $100,000 Kickstarter campaign for a talking bobblehead that ended up in President Obama's hands, and the lasting impact he made on everyone who worked with him.
