Biography for Bernie Hamilton

Bernie Hamilton's career seems to have stopped definitively after the cancellation of "Starsky and Hutch" since there is no longer any mention of the slightest performance on his part in specialized databases. Coming just like Antonio Fargas, from the wave of "blaxploitation" of the 1970s, we note participations in series such as "the 4th dimension", in 1961, or "the Virginian", in 1966. For cinema, One of his most remarkable appearances concerns the film "Blacula" in 1973. Since the early 1980s, Bernie Hamilton has completely withdrew from public life devoting his time available to works of charity.

Bernie Hamilton is an American actor known for his role of Captain Dobey in the television series "Starsky and Hutch" from the 1970s. Hamilton began his acting career in the 1950s and played in many films, television series and programs radio during his career.

Trivia

Managed to avoid severe sterotyping for the most part in his early films years, his debut was as a baseball player in The Jackie Robinson Story (1950). His most important role was in the frank, groundbreaking drama One Potato, Two Potato (1964) as the black husband of a white woman (Barbara Barrie).

Brother of jazz drummer Chico Hamilton. Originally cast as Roop in the film, "Claudine", but was dropped when Diana Sands, originally cast in the title role had to withdraw because of illness. Diana suggested that the role go to her friend Diahann Carroll. When Carroll auditioned and got the part, James Earl Jones was cast in the role of Roop.

Family

Divorced father of two children - daughter Candy and son Raoul.
