McEachin may have had a Matlock role[edit]

I could be mistaken, but I think he played another police lieutenant. Will 00:51, 15 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Cleanup (August 2007 round)[edit]

I did some major spelling and grammar corrections on this article. It still needs a lot of work, especially when it comes to backing up all the claims made. I did not go through each claim and check them — hence the "noreferences" tag. Highlights:

I've added the "cleanup" tag to the top, and I've given the article a preliminary cleanup, hopefully fixing the worst of it.
I've added the "noreferences" tag to the top. In addition I've tagged especially notable claims that are not cited — mostly awards. I also tagged his movie Old Glory because I noticed that it is presented as if it's a career milestone yet doesn't appear on the Internet Movie Database.
I've removed the line "for his role as the first black man to have his own show on NBC called TENAFLY". Besides it being very silly grammatically, I don't understand "have his own show on NBC". Was he the first black star of a TV fiction series? First black star of an NBC series? Someone needs to look this up and re-add it, or maybe just forget about it.
