* [[Morgan Freeman]]'s roles often overlaps this with [[Badass Grandpa]]. Good examples include ''[[Wanted (film)|Wanted]]'', ''[[Glory]]'', ''[[Se7en]]'', and ''[[Batman Begins]]''. He even fit the Trope via [[Sesame Street Cred]] when he appeared in shorts on ''[[The Electric Company]]''.

* ''[[The Serpent and the Rainbow]]''
* Pictured above, Jules Winfield of ''[[Pulp Fiction]]''. In fact, if a movie (without [[Star Wars]] in the title) has [[Samuel L. Jackson]] in it (whether he's the hero or villain), chances are he will be playing one of these.
* ''[[The Blind Side]]'': But despite his intimidating size, Michael is actually a [[Gentle Giant]]. He's plenty scary if you're lined up against him on the football field, though.

Line 217:
* Prince Escalus (now portrayed as a policeman) in ''[[William Shakespeares Romeo and Juliet]]''.
* ''[[Black Dynamite]]''.
