Delroy Lindo is a man of many accomplishments. He’s got a Tony Award nomination to his name and loads of stellar credits including Malcolm X, The Cider House Rules and now Spike Lee’s Da 5 Bloods, which will hopefully keep him mighty busy this awards season. But do you know what else is a significant achievement on his filmography? Delivering a line of dialogue that transcends a movie and becomes iconic - the line, “Stop eating my sesame cake,” in Congo.

Lindo has one scene in the 1995 release, but it’s one of the most memorable moments of the movie due to his screen presence and dialogue delivery. Lindo steps in as Captain Wanta, a local militia leader who ultimately grants the main ensemble safe passage during their mission. As soon as Karen (Laura Linney), Monroe (Ernie Hudson) and Herkermer Homolka (Tim Curry) sit down to chat, Lindo’s character insists that they indulge in coffee and cake. Later on, while Homolka is doing just that, Wanta shouts, “Stop eating my sesame cake!” And right then and there, history is made.

Check out what Lindo had to see about working on Congo in this clip from his episode of Collider Connected!
