The news was confirmed via his manager Patric McMinn who told The Hollywood Reporter that the actor, 81, passed away Wednesday at his Los Angeles home from pancreatic cancer.

Roundtree first played John Shaft in the 1971 blaxploitation action thriller before starring in Shaft’s Big Score! in 1972 Shaft in Africa in 1973, and a subsequent Shaft TV series.

He also appeared in the film reboot alongside Samuel L. Jackson, Regina Hall, and Jessie T. Usher.

“Well honestly, it’s much like riding a bike,” he told Here & Now’s Robin Young about reprising the role. I mean, it’s a comfortable pair of shoes.”

“This thing is off the chain,” he also said of the film.

Richard Roundtree is being memorialized on social media by Hollywood stars including Gabrielle Union who played his daughter in BET’s 2014 drama series Being Mary Jane.

“Working with Richard Roundtree was a dream,” wrote Union. “Getting to hang with him & our Being Mary Jane family was always a good a** time with the best stories & laughs. He was ALWAYS the coolest man in the room with the BEST vibes & ppl would literally run over to come see him. He was simply the best & we all loved him. #RIPRichardRoundtree”

R.I.P. Richard Roundtree.
