On A Pale Horse

I had this teacher in high school, Miss Cardamone, she was awesome. She was really great to all of our students and made them feel special. She, like many others, assigned "To Kill A Mockingbird" for reading assignment. I didn't really care for the book, I was pretty happy when we were finished. The one shining point of it was that we got to watch the film. The film was incredible. The acting was suburb, Gregory Peck, Robert Duvall and Brock Peters who played Tom Robinson the man wrongly accused of raping a white girl. Mr. Peters won the part over James Earl Jones. He acted steadily up to a few years before his death doing a lot of voice over work and starring in two Star Trek movies as Admiral Cartwright in 'The Undiscovered Country' and 'The Voyage Home'

Mr. Peters passed away from pancreatic cancer.
