On Fire Show Host Daryl M. Brooks and Felicity Joy interview Actor Fred "The Hammer" Williamson

Live on Facebook Friday night at 8pm. The On Fire Show hosts Daryl M. Brooks and Felicity Joy will interview Actor Fred Williamson “The Hammer”.
Fred “The Hammer” Williamson played professional football for the NFL with the Pittsburgh Steelers (1960) and the AFL with the Oakland Raiders (1961–1964) and the Kansas City Chiefs (1965–1967) before he began making feature films, which launched him as a verifiable action star and sex symbol.

For over thirty years, he kept himself in the action game, starring or appearing in several films every year until he was in his late 60s, and even until this day he remains busy appearing in low-budget action films. With black belts in kenpo karate, Shotokan karate, and taekwondo, he usually uses his own blend of martial arts in his films, laying “the hammer” down on the bad guys.

He appeared in a number of films with his fellow blaxploitation titans Jim Brown and Jim Kelly, and he made a slew of films in Italy during the lucrative Italian movie boom of the 1970s and 1980s. With his signature mustache and cigarillo, Fred Williamson is one of the great action stars. See Less
