Fred Williamson
BIOGRAPHY: Williamson became an actor much in the mold of star running back Jim Brown. He acted alongside Brown in films such as 1974’s Three the Hard Way, 1975’s Take a Hard Ride, 1982’s One Down, Two To Go, 1996’s Original Gangstas and 2002’s On the Edge. He also guest starred with Brown in various television roles. In October 1973, Williamson posed nude for Playgirl magazine, preempting Brown’s appearance in 1974. Williamson’s early television roles included a role in the 1968 Star Trek episode “The Cloud Minders”, in which he played “Anka”. He also played Diahann Carroll’s love interest in the sitcom Julia. In an interview for the DVD of Bronx Warriors, Williamson stated that his role in Julia was created for him when he convinced the producers that the Black community was upset that Julia had a different boyfriend every week. |
