"William \"Willie\" Best (May 27, 1916 \u2013 February 27, 1962), sometimes known as Sleep n' Eat, was an American television and film actor.Best was one of the first well-known African-American film actors and comedians. In the 21st century, his work, like that of Stepin Fetchit, is sometimes reviled because he was often called upon to play stereotypically lazy, illiterate, and/or simple-minded characters in films."@en .
