Hal Williams Final Interview 4 Days Before Deathđđ
Hal Williams, the TV veteran who appeared in American sitcom staples like â227â and âSanford and Son,â has died, according to his manager. He was 91.
â227â ran from 1985 to 1990, and followed a group of middle-aged tenants living together in an apartment building. Williams starred as Lester Jenkins, who, in the show, was husband to Marla Gibbsâ Mary Jenkins and father to Regina Kingâs Brenda Jenkins. â227â aired 116 episodes across five seasons on NBC. Series star JackĂ©e Harry won an Emmy for best supporting actress for her work on the show in 1987. Other cast members included Helen Martin, Alaina Reed-Hall and Curtis Baldwin.
From 1985-1990, Williams was a key part of 227, on which he played Lester Jenkins. That show was a cultural touchstone as the only other Black middle class family series on at the time besides Coby. The star-studded cast included Helen Martin, Marla Gibbs, Regina King, Jackée Harry, Paul Winfield and others.
Throughout his 55-year career, Williams earned guest appearances on TV staples such as That Girl, The Dick Van Dyke Show, Cannon, Police Woman, Gunsmoke, Police Story, Quincy M.E, Good Times, Knots Landing, The Waltons, The Dukes of Hazzard, Webster, Hill Street Blues, Magnum P.I., Night Court, L.A. Law, Suddenly Susan, Moesha and Parks and Recreation.
Williams appeared in 22 episodes of âSanford and Sonâ as Officer âSmittyâ Smith. The character was part of a duo with Howard Plattâs Officer âHoppyâ Hopkins. The pair had a recurring bit where Hopkins would lead by outlining a case with complicated police jargon, and it would be up to Smith to spell it all out again in laymanâs terms.
In a recent interview with WKYC, Williams explained how the Smitty and Hoppy gag came to be: âWe did it in one time in rehearsal and the producers thought it was funny. We did it in the first or second episode and it clicked. Some days, we would come to rehearsal and they didnât have anything solid. [The producers would then say,] âGo out, take a break for two hours, and bring us something back.ââ
Williamsâ other TV credits include âOn the Rocks,â âThe Waltons,â âPrivate Benjaminâ and âThe Sinbad Show.â His most recent TV role was on CBSâ âMatlockâ remake. On the film side, Williams appeared in âHardcore,â âThe Rookie,â âPercy & Thunder,â âGuess Whoâ and âFlight.â

![Randolph Mantooth Knew He Was Going To Dieđ
Randolph Mantooth Knew He Was Going To Dieđ
Randolph Mantooth, who starred as the goofy but gallant firefighter-paramedic Johnny Gage on Emergency!, the 1970s NBC action show that changed life-saving services as we know it, has died. He was 80.
Mantooth died Thursday at a hospice facility in Ventura, California, his brother, Donald Mantooth, told The Hollywood Reporter. He had been âill for a number of years and kept getting thinner and thinner,â he said.
Mantooth also had two stints (1987-90 and 1993-95) as Clay Alden/Alex Masters on the ABC soap opera Loving, and he appeared on other daytime serials including ABCâs General Hospital, CBSâ As the World Turns and ABCâs One Life to Live.
Mantooth was just getting started as a contract player at Universal when he was hired in 1971 to play Gage opposite Kevin Tighe as his partner, Roy DeSoto, on Emergency!, created by Dragnet legend Jack Webb and Robert A. Cinader.
When he was told he was going to play a paramedic, the first thing Mantooth said was, âWhat the hell is a paramedic? At that time, there were only [a handful] in all of California,â he told Amy Harrington in a 2013 interview for the TV Academy Foundation website The Interviews.
He said he initially didnât want to do it because it meant he would have to get a haircut.
Gage and the more buttoned-down DeSoto worked out the Los Angeles County Fire Departmentâs Station 51, interacting often with Rampart General Hospital personnel Dr. Kelly Brackett (Robert Fuller), nurse Dixie McCall (Julie London) and Dr. Joe Early (Bobby Troup, Londonâs real-life husband).
Emergency! aired for six seasons, from January 1972 through May 1977, then tacked on seven telefilms over the next couple of years. There even was a Saturday morning animated series in 1973-74.
When the show premiered, there were 12 paramedic units in all of North America. In the next three years, 46 states enacted laws that allowed paramedics to practice emergency medicine. Within 10 years, more than half of all Americans were within 10 minutes of a paramedic rescue or ambulance unit.
Experts say that growth simply would not have occurred without Emergency!
âWhen you take life-saving services out of the hospital and into the field, the number of lives that are saved is incalculable,â Mantooth said. âThe stars just lined up with this show perfectly for a purpose, for a greater purpose.
âI could be remembered for driving a car that has a name like the General Lee, not that thereâs anything wrong with that show. Instead Iâm remembered for something that changed emergency medicine, forever. How lucky can any one person be?â
Randy DeRoy Mantooth was born on Sept. 19, 1945, in Sacramento. He said he lived in 24 states before he turned 18 because his father, Buck, was a pipeline construction engineer whose job kept the family on the move.
âI was never in any town long enough to really cultivate long-lasting relationships with people, so I was always living in my own little fantasy world,â he said.
His mother, Sadie, was a waitress. After she and Buck divorced, she made good on her promise to give each of her four kids a car when they graduated high school.
Mantooth acted for the first time at San Marcos High in Santa Barbara, then followed his acting friends to Santa Barbara City College and then to New Yorkâs American Academy of Dramatic Arts, where he changed his first name to the more formal-sounding Randolph.

![Armando & Kenny â 90 Dayâ Reunite With Hospitalized Daughter
Armando Finally Reunites With Hospitalized Daughter
90 Day Fiancé alum Armando Niedermeier-Rubio has successfully secured a visa and since reunited with his 13-year-old daughter, Hannah, amid her hospitalization in Arizona.
Armando, 37, arrived in the United States from Mexico on Friday, July 17, where he was seen greeting husband Kenny Niedermeier outside the medical facility, per footage obtained by TMZ. The outlet also reported that Armando surprised Hannah later that day.
Kenny, 63, told TMZ that his stepdaughter, whom Armando shared with his late wife, had no idea that her dad would eventually make it to her bedside.
âIn the video she was in shock after seeing her father and she kept asking if it was real,â Kenny said of the father-daughter pairâs reunion. âShe seems to even be improving more since his arrival.â
Armando revealed via Instagram on Tuesday, July 14, that his daughterâs condition rapidly deteriorated after she unexpectedly suffered a brain bleed. The teenager was subsequently transported from their small town in Mexico to Arizona for treatment.
Armando, however, was not able to accompany his daughter due to lingering visa issues. (Kenny had been present at Hannahâs bedside after traveling from Ohio, where he attended a funeral earlier this month.)
âI went to the border. The hospital directly sensed the gravity of the situation, how Hannah was being airlifted to Phoenix ICU,â Armando said in a Thursday, July 16, social media update. âThey sent all the necessary documents to the border. When I arrived at the border, I arrived with my documents as well. Never was the letter from the hospital reviewed and never were any of my documents asked of me â nothing was checked. I was just told, âNope, we do not do this here. ⊠Thereâs no option for you,â and on my way I went.â
Armandoâs mom and sister, meanwhile, were able to travel to the United States with Hannah because they are âlegal residentsâ of the country.
As Armando worked with an immigration attorney to secure an emergency visa, he also opened up to fans about the harrowing medical situation.
âI donât want to lose her,â he tearfully said in a follow-up Instagram video shared on Thursday. âPlease keep her in your thoughts and prayers, guys. Thank you all that supported [us] ⊠All the love thatâs coming our way. I canât thank any of you enough. You guys all have been angels through this. You made it a little easier even though I canât be with her. Love you all, guys!â
Armando and Kennyâs romance began on 90 Day FiancĂ©: The Other Way season 2, when Kenny relocated to Mexico from Florida. The pair tied the knot in 2021. Armando & Kenny â 90 Dayâ Reunite With Hospitalized Daughter](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/U_KJykWf3aQ/mqdefault.jpg)
