Summary

Actor Forest Whitaker and a tribute to the late country music legend, Freddy Fender, on this edition of Fresh Air. Forest Whitaker played jazz musician Charlie Parker in Bird, a British soldier kidnapped by the IRA in The Crying Game, a mafia hit man who models himself after a Samurai warrior in Ghost Dog, and an internal affairs detective on the FOX TV show The Shield. In his latest film The Last King of Scotland, he plays Ugandan dictator Idi Amin. Then, we remember Texas and country music legend Freddy Fender. He died of lung cancer Saturday, at the age of 69. Fender's big hit was "Before the Next Teardrop Falls". [Broadcast Date: October 17, 2006]
