Speaking of Laurence Fishburne, here’s a 10-minute clip from “Cornbread, Earl and Me,” the 1975 movie in which young Master Fishburne first distinguished himself.
By 1976, Fishburne had grown up enough to be cast as a soldier in Francis Ford Coppola’s Vietnam epic “Apocalypse Now.”

"They killed Cornbread!" That's about all I know about the movie.
But, wow. All those familiar faces! Rosalind Cash, Bernie Casey, Antonio Fargas, Madge Sinclair, Moses Gunn...and that was just in ten minutes! :-)
And I haven't seen Tyree (sp?) Turner (kid wearing #16 jersey)in ages.
Thanks for posting!

You know who doesn't get enough dap? Antonio Fargas. A skilled actor, and always poppin' on screen. How about that look he gives when he walks away from the shooting?
And a killer title cut on the soundtrack.
Movie feels like a after school special though.

Word.
One thing I really liked about "Everybody Hates Chris" was that familiar/character actors always had a supporting role. Antonio Fargas played Chris's boss Doc on the show. :-)
