Older Men Who Could Get it Back in the Day
Fred Williamson
A former football stud and blaxploitation player in popular movies like Black Caesar and Hell Up in Harlem, Fred Williamson was one of the first and best looking athletes to make a successful jump into acting. What proceeded was a new definition of hardcore masculinity with his tough sideburns, random karate kicks that could immediately knock recipients out and tailored suits resting on those bourgeoning defensive back-built muscles. The man could tote a handgun the size of a forearm and was one of the few people that could get away with taco meat hair on his chiseled pectorals. If you need a reason to watch a blaxploitation film other than to evaluate the sketchy screenwriting, a young Fred “The Hammer” Williamson is a yummy reason to check one out.
