Trivia:

African-American actor signed to a Universal contract in the 1960s and played positive images for the most part. Crime drama seemed to be his forte, having his own 1970s series as a more-brains-than-brawn detective in Tenafly, then a steady, recurring role as dogged Lieutenant Brock in the "Perry Mason" TV-movie dramas of the '80s.
