Clarence Gilyard Jr.

Clarence Darnell Gilyard Jr. (born 24 December 1955 in Moses Lake, Washington, USA; died 28 November 2022) was an American university professor, actor, and author who featured in movies, television programmes and regional theatre since 1980. He was sometimes credited as Clarence A. Gilyard.

I knew him best for his roles as Marcus "Sundown" Williams in Top Gun (1986), Theo in Die Hard (1988) and James "Jimmy" Trivette in the television series Walker, Texas Ranger (1993-2001).

The autograph was signed by Clarence in July 2022 when he made an appearance at London Film & Comic Con. I pre-ordered it from the Showmasters send-in service.
