Important Men | Avery Brooks

Talent!

As a young man my father would (religiously) watch the TV show: “Spencer For Hire”. The show was good, yet my father counted the seconds until “The Hawk” appeared. The Hawk was the stylish, no nonsense street muscle to Spencer. I always remembered the handsome and stylish Mr. Brooks. I often wondered why this gentleman never received the opportunity to dominate the silver screen and play more of the roles his talent commanded.  As young adult, I learned of Mr. Brooks background as a poet and classically trained actor.  I am appreciative for the theater and the internet, this is where I viewed the depth of the thespian Hollywood failed to cultivate for audiences.

Mr. Brooks, thank U.
