'The Disenchantment of an All-American Jock.'
Charles Robinson
Anyone who grew up watching, or just loves 80's television, has undoubtedly seen episodes of Night Court (1984-1992) and Hill Street Blues (1981-1987). Although I don't think I've seen even one episode of the police drama, I've certainly seen repeats of the sit-com Night Court.
Michael Warren
I was shocked recently, to see an image featuring two stars from the shows in a nude scene from the 70's. The two actors were Charles Robinson, (Night Court) and Michael Warren. (Hill Street Blues) The movie, 1971's Drive, He Said, a basketball movie from director actor, and basketball lover, Jack Nicholson. Although Nicholson is known for his passion for the game, he's not as well known for his work as a director. The Oscar winning actor's only directed three films, Drive, He Said making his directorial feature film debut.
Hill Street Blues (l) and Night Court (r)
It was a little shocking to see Hill Street Blues Bobby Hill and especially Night Court's Mac, and Mr. Munson from Mom, letting it all hang. Although Warren had a few TV credits under his belt, Drive, He Said marked his first feature film, and the first professional credit for Robinson.
