Browne, Roscoe Lee (1925–2007), actor. The deep‐voiced, charismatic African‐American actor has worked in all media, acted in classic and modern works, and played traditionally white roles years before it became fashionable. He was born in Woodbury, New Jersey, and educated at Lincoln University, Middlebury College, and Columbia, becoming an international track star as a student athlete. Browne taught French and literature at Lincoln before making his professional acting debut at the
New York Shakespeare Festival in 1956 and his Broadway bow in
Tiger, Tiger, Burning Bright (1962). Among his many noteworthy performances were the Narrator of
The Ballad of the Sad Cafe (1963), the native Babu in
Benito Cereno (1964), the retired teacher Albert mourning his dead son in
Remembrance (1979), the singing‐dancing minister J. D. Montgomery in
My One and Only (1983), and the elderly sage Holloway in
Two Trains Running (1992).
