Let's not forget his role as Lord Bowler in "Brisco County". He got to show a little range in that one.

Holy shit! I never, after all these years, put two and two together and realized it was the same actor!

At first I was thinking" who?????"
But when I saw the video, I instantly thought Lord Bowler from Briscoe :cry:
I loved that show and his character.

Wowwwwwww! I always wondered what happened to the actor that played Sho Nuff, and now I find out I'd been seeing him on a regular basis for the last 20 years!

I saw The Last Dragon when I was a teenager and during the scene where Sho Nuff was whooping Leroy to a pulp, this huge black girl in the row I'm in screams out "You leave my Leroy alone!!!". She screamed it as a sincere and spontaneous concern for pretty boy Leroy but the audience burst out laughing assuming she was trying to crack up the place.
