PerhapsMoonlightandIf Beale Street Could TalkdirectorBarry Jenkinssummed it up best: “Cruel.
Not what I want to say right now.
But certainly how I feel.
Just… so cruel.”
John was a man whose humanity told stories that unveiled truths about our world and our lives.
He gifted us with his heart, mind, and spirit.
He forever changed the way we look at the world.
I hope his family and loved ones can have some peace in knowing he is loved and cherished.
May you be held softly and gently in the bosom of god.
John Singleton Rest In Peace."
ActorCourtney B. Vancerecalled working with Singleton onThe People v. O.J.
Simpson: American Crime Story, in which Vance played Johnnie Cochran.
John was truly one of a kind and his voice and presence will be deeply missed.
Thank God for that."
“I will forever remember him fondly from our first meeting during the audition process.
He exuded many things that day…awareness, openness and above all, enthusiasm!
Over the years, he never lost or left any of that behind.
He provided and possessed a clarity of vision that I appreciate from that day till this.
He gave a voice and an opportunity to many.
Count me in that grateful number.”
