Actor

I like to watch and perform the kind of comedy that comes out of the situation - where the character is really serious and in a tough situation and doesn't realize that the situation is comic.

I want to do things of significance, things that will inspire people to know how good life can be.

I was spoiled and I was arrogant. I was very demanding, had an overblown image of who I was and got a reputation for being difficult. And rightfully so.

I still enjoy a lot of support from the black community.

The first show I was in was 'Dracula' in 1975.
