Background
Woody Strode was a pioneer in many aspects during his lifetime. He played for the UCLA Bruins football team during the 1930's when there were very few black collegiate athletes. He was also an outstanding decathelete. One of his college buddies was Jackie Robinson. He was also one of the first black men to play professional football when he was hired by the Los Angeles Rams in 1946. Later during his acting career he broke new ground when he played characters who were strong and capable and more than just faithful family retainers.
Woody Strode can be seen using firearms in the following productions:
