He was great as the tough priest/history teacher at NOLA St. Aug. in Passing Glory (1999). It kind of gives him a Louisiana tie.
IMDb Wiki
quote:


An angry black Josephite priest (Andre Braugher) in 1960s New Orleans goes against the wishes of his parish leader (Rip Torn) as he pushes a basketball game between his unbeaten all-black team and an undefeated all-white prep school team. This is based on the true story of the first integrated basketball game in the history of New Orleans. The plot follows the events leading up to the game between the Josephites' all-black St. Augustine High School and all-white Jesuit High. It focuses on the struggles that Father Joseph Verrett had in trying to pull the game off and trying to earn respect for his team.


It's a $5.00 rental on Prime



If you're not a Jasuit fan, it's fun little movie.

I went to Jesuit and absolutely love Passing Glory.

I'm surprised Duets hasn't been mentioned. He was phenomenal in that movie too. It's not actually his voice singing, but I love this scene.
