The
status of Antonio Fargas is legendary. Since his initiation
into the world of film at the age of fourteen, when
his exceptional interpretative skills led to a role
in Shirley Clark's 'Cool World', he has been noted for
the unforgettable characters he creates, most famously
through his role as the incorrigible and loveable 'Huggy
Bear' in TV's 'Starsky & Hutch'.
Whether perfecting outrageously comedic characters as
in Robert Downey's 'Putney Swope' and Keenan Ivory Wayan's
'I'm Going to Git You Sucka', or chilling the audience
through a convincing rendition of a ninety year old
witchdoctor, as in the Broadway play, 'The Great White
Hope', Antonio's performances have generated a near
endless array of enthusiastic acclaim from some of the
industry's most respected critics of film, television
and stage.
