AMERICAN STYLE, GOOD TIMES, SANFORD AND SON etc. as well as re-

occurring regular roles on QUINCY and with Nell Carter in “GIMME A BREAK”

helped establish the face of the African American actor in TV and paved the way for

others to follow.” During his career Mr. Watson has been fortunate to co-star with

the celebrated talents of Edward G. Robinson, Leslie Caron, Michael Crichton, Mary

Tyler Moore, Candice Bergen, Red Fox, Rob Reiner, Sidney Poitier in “THE

ORGANIZATION”, Jeff Bridges in “HALLS OF ANGER” and James Coburn in
