Actor Bill Nunn, perhaps best known as Radio Raheem in Spike Lee's Do The Right Thing, died at the age of 62 on Saturday.

Nunn debuted in Spike Lee's School Daze in 1988 but became iconic in his role as the boombox-carrying Radio Raheem. He also played police Lieutenant Eddie Souther, charged with protecting Whoopi Goldberg, in Sister Act and earned critical acclaim in Regarding Henry with Harrison Ford. Recently, he appeared in the Spider-Man films.

"'School Daze' was one of the highlights of my life because it was the first chance I had to act on screen," Nunn once said. "I would have been happy if that had been it, because I proved that I could do it."

Nunn passed away in his hometown of Pittsburgh.

Spike Lee, who directed Nunn in three of his films, posted a touching tribute to the actor on Instagram.
