Fred Williamson is the total package of what a man should be. I have always admired him. I've been inspired by him. A natural actor. A great man. Thank you for sharing this video.
Get real. RACE is always an issue for Blacks since racismis rampant in entertainment industry. It's astounding what blacks have to fight just to participate which is another reason AMERICA is the anagram: I AM RACE.
Not only is he Fine, he's also very well spoken, as well as a brilliant actor, in my opinion. I didn't no he's a Director as well. The more I hear, the more impressed I become. So now I see he's not just another fine brother, he has the qualities to go with it. "A PACKAGE DEAL, now that's what I consider SEXY. WOW, Fred Williamson, My Dream Man.
I never realized that Fred was so articulate and intelligent, since I never watched any of his films. The white interviewer seems intimated by him. So refreshing seeing a man not acting like many of the men today, who act like overly happy fast talking idiots with sappy musical voices. Thanks for sharing this interview. I learned a lot about Fred and the industry that I didn't know before.
I HEAR YA. LOOK INTO ACTOR WILLIAM SMITH. HE WAS THE ULTIMATE "TOUGH GUY". HE PLAYED IN 2 OF FREDS FLICS. EVEN TOUGH FRED SAID THIS ABOUT SMITH .. "PROBABLY THE TOUGHEST GUY IN THE WORLD IN THE 1970'S, COULD RIDE A MOTORCYCLE UPSIDE DOWN, GOOD ACTOR, GOOD FRIEND, A VERY GENTLE PERSON, A GENTLEMAN".
One of the hardest working & talented man of all time in football and movies. Good looking cat could have made a great James Bond. Increased his sophistication/elegance and toned down the bitterness. Certainly had the danger element needed. Could have made it in mainstream with a few minor tweaks. Humbleness, self-deprication goes a long way and youre still able to maintain confidence. Particularly like: Denzel Washington, Morgan Freeman & Sidney Poitier, did to name a few wildly successful leading men in Hollywood. All time greats.
It takes a lot of patience to answer questions from these condescending deceptive people. The Hammer Knows His Worth. His intelligent knowledgeable answers shows the confidence in his abilities. Proud, outspoken, independent, competent Black Man Is Always A Threat.... Thanks Fred!!
Fred Williamson Time Y'all! He's One Of The Last Of "Them". As A Young Black Kid In The 70's,There Was No Need For A Identity Crisis. Fred And Jim Brown Helped Us,While "They" Were Programming And Grooming Men To Be Soft. Bible! Thanks Fred! You Helped. Life Before Thuglife Culture And Attitudes
a very intelligent insightful and handsome black man. the same can be said for ron o'neal but hollywood beat him down. he could have taken some cues from fred williamson.
I am so impressed with Fred Williamson Have always been..don't know if he will like this comparison, but he always did remind me of Jack Lord..that power and strength of character and belief in himself as a `Rock` that the storm can only just beat against but never ever sweep away... even as Actors, I remember each one as I watch the other...that Steve Mcgarett character...I remember Fred at his best..that Black Ceaser... Fred will always be a most favourite Actor of mine...Bravo!! Strong Man!! You a Rock!!
I heard that!! Well Marvin Gaye was the other LOVE OF MY LIFE! It's something about Fred with that mustache, that cigar and oh yes, THAT SMILE!!! OH MY GOD!!!!!!!
Fred Williamson did a great job of productivity handling himself in such a w as u that vsaids i dont need you did it without the help of Hollywood did not play dope pictures he showed a better way for a black to suceed other than being a dope dealer independed on his own. and knew what thw fans and audiences wanted great job thanks.
Because too many American White men are miseducated by the society and their fathers to believe Black people are not intelligent. If a man cannot act out of intelligent that man is forced to act out of emotions. So when they encounter a Black man that speaks articulately and his articulated thoughts speak of the heart or manners of racism yet not using the word racism to describe an action or event it shakes there rudimentary racist teachings. That interviewer could not rattle Fred cage because Fred did/does not conduct himself like a caged lion.
Fred "the hammer " is to intelligent and intellectual for that interviewer to slam him.Fred intimidated the interviewer, Fred my bro has no weakness in this .
Dorothy Brewer I saw Ron o'neal at the blaxploitation film festival in 1996. He said that he went to Warner Bros to produce and star as Alexander Dumas .... The studio didn't see it.
He played football like he was fighting. Very dirty . But I understand his contribution to his people. He taught us you don't need anyone but yourself and your vision.
TAKE NOTE PEOPLE EVERTIME YOU STAND FOR SOMETHING OUR SOMEONE AN TELL THE TRUTH THEY SAY YOUR MEAN . OR YOUR ANGRY YOU PEOPLE BETTER SEE THIS GAME PEOPLE
To be fair when he made the transition, he was being replaced by a New college star, and therefore wanted out of football. Not discrediting his career by at means
He had that cockiness even on talk shows. Years ago, he was always on the Merv Griffin show and even then, I thought he was gay. I believe he and Merv knew about each other's sexual preferences which was why Fred was on his show so often. That preference being other males. Of course, we learned years later that Merv was gay.
That man is too fine.. saw him at a stop light on Broadway in Chi-town and he looked at me and smiled and i havent been right since!!
kim jones wow
lucky girl
As a kid going to his movies I have said to this day he's the best looking man I have ever laid my eyes on!

Him and Jim Brown. The definition of 'men'.
I met Mr. Williamson briefly comin out of carlos and charlies, he is a great cat. Very humble and pleasent.
Iya Khan wow
Fred the "HAMMER"...telling. it like it is. Keeping it 100%.
One bad dude. Spectacularly well spoken.
Fred is the man! I like that he doesn't let the interviewer bring race into it. Fred was a US Marine Corps Officer also!
no he wasn't

F.W, is awesome. And he drops bomb science to the question asked at 8:30.

How come when we express our discontent we are stereotyped as being "angry?"
Because too many American White men are miseducated by the society and their fathers to believe Black people are not intelligent. If a man cannot act out of intelligent that man is forced to act out of emotions. So when they encounter a Black man that speaks articulately and his articulated thoughts speak of the heart or manners of racism yet not using the word racism to describe an action or event it shakes there rudimentary racist teachings. That interviewer could not rattle Fred cage because Fred did/does not conduct himself like a caged lion.

So true
This is a beautiful, intelligent, handsome, Black man. Period full stop ✋️ 🫸 😊!
he's awesome
Og right here.
interesting interview ... talented guy
Three the hard way, my first fred williamson movie.
just as ron o'neal was fred williamson is a handsome and intelligent black man. he does come across as a bit aware of himself but it's ok.
Dorothy Brewer I saw Ron o'neal at the blaxploitation film festival in 1996. He said that he went to Warner Bros to produce and star as Alexander Dumas .... The studio didn't see it.
Why is it when you voice your opinion about a situation you're "Angry"? He's not angry, he's stating the facts.
I am convinced that he is the closest thing to perfect that I've ever seen.
My husband in another lifetime.
This video was done back in 1982 or 83.
1982
He played football like he was fighting. Very dirty . But I understand his contribution to his people. He taught us you don't need anyone but yourself and your vision.
He's the total hit. He has to actually get younger next- around 33 fixed-
I love him..:0
Jim Brown was my child hood hero, and he loves the sista’s. Fred, not so much.
AND FRED DIDNT BEAT UP👊 THE SISTAS. JIM BROWN BEAT UP THE SISTAS!! YOUR NEXT POINT?????
@ ....why you typing in caps?
A black man - that couldn't be hit in the back.
Bill Cosby was crucified by the system - but he wouldn't allow them to molest him.
My husband in another life.
Boss African-American.
He is still a hunk.
Him and Jim Brown played a couple of thieves on roller skates along with another woman on the show CHIPS
The Hammer is too smooth to be provoked by such a shitshow interview
Big ups to the 70s lol
I had a crush on him when l was a little girl
TAKE NOTE PEOPLE EVERTIME YOU STAND FOR SOMETHING OUR SOMEONE AN TELL THE TRUTH THEY SAY YOUR MEAN . OR YOUR ANGRY YOU PEOPLE BETTER SEE THIS GAME PEOPLE
They don’t make men like him anymore. He was cut from a different cloth
He has the Shining
This interview has got to be at least 30 years old if T.J. Hooker was still in production.
1982
When was this interview made?
this is I think 1990 interview he was still young
1982
Wasn't he hammered in Superbowl 1
...oh i like him...
To be fair when he made the transition, he was being replaced by a New college star, and therefore wanted out of football. Not discrediting his career by at means
07:24 asks " What exactly is a sixth degree."
.....It mean's he's one bad motherfucker!
Forget everything thing else
@MrGarthjohn Yup. I was waiting for him to call Fred "Angry". Ridiculous.
' ! You know thst how that
One of the most amazing black men that ever acted and directed films. My favorite for life 🙂
Fred Williamson should transcend Wall Street Hollyweird Bankers Dystopia pimping Brown performers. Richard Wright Black Boy
American Express? He was talking about the American PRESS...
Is " COCKY" too weak of a description of him?
He had that cockiness even on talk shows. Years ago, he was always on the Merv Griffin show and even then, I thought he was gay. I believe he and Merv knew about each other's sexual preferences which was why Fred was on his show so often. That preference being other males. Of course, we learned years later that Merv was gay.
@@jaf8771TYPICAL HOMO TALK, WANTS TO MAKE EVERY NORMAL GUY, (AND HETEROSEXUAL IS NORMAL) GAY. G.T.F.O.H. FRUIT LOOPS!
This interviewer needs to do his homework!!!!
