He was good



He got his main start in Blackboard Jungle



a great movie which also is often credited with getting original Rock & Roll going

  with Bill Haley & Rock around the Clock  .. which played throughout the movie

Dang, I didn't know that. The oldest movie I know him from is A Raisin in the Sun.


Yes. He saw & approached the ghetto problems from a reality perspective and was all his life a booster of families and proper behavior as essential for blacks to succeed



He was a teacher in the movie doing the above

I only know him from Full House and America's Funniest Home Videos..



I thought he had a strong resemblance to late night talk show host Stephen Colbert.
