This was inspired by a movie I was watching with my girl's 2 year old just a while ago, and I became curious about the original actors in the television series....so here's a little trivia for all you comedy TV buffs:
Who was the first black actor signed to a major long-term Hollywood contract? He was also the first black Hollywood star. Hint: You gotta go pretty far back on this one.
10 points to the first correct answer.
*apparently a toughie
Here's another hint or two: He was just a kid at the time, and the series itself was 'groundbreaking' in including African-Americans and women in major roles*
Ahh, I'd almost given up! 10 points to you Laura when I can dish it out!
