Fred “The Hammer” Williamson shared some behind-the-scenes stories from his illustrious acting career. He talked about his role in the “Starsky & Hutch” film, stating that while the original script had him playing an overweight, loud police chief, he refused to be typecast. Instead, he defined his own character, adding his unique spin to the role. He also reminisced about his appearance in Snoop Dogg’s 1994 music video, “Doggy Dogg World,” which featured multiple blaxploitation legends, including Pam Grier and Ron O’Neal. Williamson expressed pride in being the only one who sold an image that people expected from him. He discouraged cookie-cutter acting, encouraging others to showcase their distinct characters. His distinctive exit from a limo with a backhand slap was a fan favorite, highlighting the importance of characters owning their unique portrayals.
