COOL 70's DUDE: Antonio Fargas
Antonio Fargas is one of those great character actors who to this date has never really gotten a starring role. His looks and swagger are totally unforgettable. In the 70's this man was certainly busy, he was in close to 30 film and tv roles, including his recurrent and best known role as Huggy Bear on Starsky and Hutch. One of his more memorable roles is from the movie I'm Gonna Git You Sucka as Flyguy, the pimp with the fishtank shoes. I still can't watch that scene without bursting a gut! He is one of the few 70's era actors who continue to work steadily to this date. He can be seen in a recurring role on Everybody Hates Chris as Mr. Harris and in various on and off Broadway productions.
