One of the greatest football players who ever lived (fullback with the Cleveland Browns for a decade, from 1957 to 1967), this good-looking athlete was drafted by Hollywood and lent his imposing presence to a number of high-profile movies in the 1960s, and starred in "blaxploitation" films in the 1970s. He also served as president of Richard Pryor's production company for a time. After a long absence from mainstream movies, he took a role in Arnold Schwarzenegger's The Running Man (1987) and then spoofed his own image in I'm Gonna Git You Sucka (1988).
