Actor and producer Charles F. Porter, who starred in the 2011 TV movie "Wendell Scott: A Race Story," died Nov. 2 after a long battle with cancer, his wife, Candice Tab-Porter, confirmed. He was 47.
After 18 "incredible" years together, Tab-Porter announced her husband's death in a Facebook post, saying she was honored to have been by his side and truly believes "that God brought us to each other for a reason."
"I am honored Charles taught me how to be present, live in the moment and enjoy all the beauty that life had to offer," she wrote. "He lived the highest standard of integrity, never compromised his values, led by example and always did what he said he was going to do. He found beauty in the little things and never complained about his battle, he always just said it's part of our journey and tried to find the silver lining."
Together, the pair welcomed daughters Layla Rose Porter, 9, and Juliette Jasmine Porter, 6.
"I am forever grateful that our girls got to spend their earliest years being raised by a true hero. And while our time together as a family was far too short, the love, wisdom, strength, and impact he had on their lives will be everlasting, and we will carry them forever," Tab-Porter wrote.

NFL fans are concerned about New York Giants running back Cam Skattebo after watching a preseason training video.
The Giants drafted Skattebo in the fourth round last year, and he made an immediate impact at MetLife Stadium.
The 24-year-old had 410 rushing yards, 207 receiving yards and seven touchdowns in eight games before suffering a broken ankle.
Skattebo then missed the remainder of the 2025 season due to injury and is now preparing for his comeback next month.

There is no timetable or final decision on Tony Romo's fate with CBS Sports, the company's president David Berson told reporters Tuesday afternoon at the annual NFL on CBS media day in New York.
"What I can say is it's an evolving situation, and therefore we're still **** sing," Berson said. "Since it continues to evolve, and we're on the eve of the season, I felt it's very important that our team, the many, many hundreds of people who work on the NFL and CBS, have certainty and direction, so we can definitively plan and focus on the production and marketing as we came off the season."
Romo, who was not in attendance in New York, was arrested in Wisconsin on July 23 on suspicion of operating under the influence. He was placed on indefinite leave by the company a week later, with JJ Watt replacing Romo on the network's top broadcast crew alongside Jim Nantz and Tracy Wolfson. Both Nantz and Wolfson told Yahoo Sports that they've been in contact with Romo since his arrest but they were keeping those conversations private and wouldn't speculate about if and when the former Dallas Cowboys quarterback would return to the broadcast booth.
"I don't want to begin to try to make a comment about that because that's going to be David's decision," Nantz told Yahoo Sports, referring to Berson. "Tony's been a friend of mine for a long time. He was a friend long before CBS put us in the group together. I'm thinking a lot about Tony and his wife, Candice. He's always been a friend of mine for as long as I go. We've always been with him, and naturally, we will be in touch with each other."
Romo, 46, is in the seventh year of a reported 10-year, $180 million contract with CBS, working alongside Nantz and Wolfson and calling three Super Bowls for the network. Berson called Romo's leave of absence a personal and legal issue and wouldn't comment further on his arrest. In deciding to put Romo on leave, Berson said he had to consider the impact on CBS' image and brand.

The NFL has all 32 teams in training camp, while 30 of them are approaching their first preseason games. Thursday night featured a thrilling Hall of Fame Game, and now the first official week of the preseason is approaching. Some teams, like the Las Vegas Raiders, have players who are clearly ready to get on the field.
The Raiders became the center of a rather interesting training camp scuffle. While these incidents aren't uncommon, it is unusual to see Kirk Cousins get his temper fired up, especially with a teammate like Maxx Crosby.

Vanderbilt is one step closer to completing its ongoing renovations at Hawkins Field.
Commodores athletic director Candice Lee had a smile plastered wide across her face as she took to the stage in the outfield on June 16, with longtime baseball coach Tim Corbin and vice chancellor for development and alumni relations John Lutz looking on from the crowd.
The trio helped mark the latest milestone in construction during a steel beam topping out ceremony, which signaled the completion of the project’s structural framework.
"If we invest in each of our programs in a way that gives our student athletes and coaches the resources they need to compete, we can win championships while also holding fast to our values ...." Lee said. "We recognize our ideals being reflected back at us and we appreciate excellence earned on our terms. We should always support that. We will always support that, starting with this remarkable facility that's starting to take shape."
Vanderbilt first announced its plans for renovations to the stadium in 2023 and later began construction in October 2025. Planned upgrades to the stadium include expanded seating capacity and premium seating in the outfield, expanded concessions, a new weight room and a pitching lab.
