@robertedwards7900 He was only with Wayne County Sherriff Deputy for two years. He was with Detroit Police Department for thirty years, including being the head of the homicide department. As head of homicide he was profane verbose, as were many members. As far as the city clowncil their meetings were like barfights.
@robertedwards7900 I worked with Detroit EMS and had to live in Detroit at the time. Detroit City Council was responsible for many aspects of funding and their meetings were recorded. I attended a few for entertainment. I worked closely with DPD on many calls and Gill Hill stories were legendary. He was a throwback but he got things done.
Actually, in recent years it's been revealed that he was allegedly corrupt. Former hit man Nate Craft alleged that Hill had once offered to pay him $125,000 to kill Richard Wershe Jr., to keep Wershe from revealing alleged corruption in the Detroit police department 👀
@@mgcuts Apparently, Hill played himself in the movie “White Boy” and revealed some of his corruption. ( As crazy as that sounds ). It took some balls to play that role knowing people were going to see the movie. But then again, apparently money is his calling.
@ OK. I just looked it up after reading the comment. I get used to people making up facts or falling for other people’s BS stories. When I looked it up it didn’t mention that it was in a documentary. So, what I’m actually trying to say is thanks for the clarification. Now I’m going to watch the documentary, and then I’ll watch the movie. It’s still seems like a story that you just can’t make up. Bad cop plays a good cop in a movie. It’s just nuts.
A natural actor. This man showed up on the set of a big budget Hollywood blockbuster and out performed professional actors. Many people have no idea how hard it is to remember lines, hit marks, dance with other actors, nail timing and not clam up when action is called. Love Gil Hill. One of the most memorable performances.
I am fairly sure that all of us over the age of 40 worked for a man liked this at one point or another in our career(s). Hardnails, stitches and scars. They didn't talk to hear themselves speak. What they had to say was learned the hard way. I imagine most of this is illegal or inappropriate for people under 40. But our children would all benefit from six weeks with a way like this. Bourbon on the desk and menthols piled high. And a metal trashcan for . . . recycling. The old way.
@ One of my favourite Ermey roles is him playing completely against the Drill Instructor type in Fletch Lives, where he plays the greasy, but somehow loveable and naive, scam artist - well, televangelist. Same diff, I suppose. There's some great moments where he's swirling his scotch, or hurriedly sucking down a cigarette, before running out on stage. Plus he's part of the greatest "chronic gambling" joke ever.
I had a boss just like him. I loved working for him. He was strict, but he was strict with everybody. And he had a great sense of humor just like this man.
I had one like that too but he was too strict with the wrong people he would give us good workers a harder time because the lazy people were pissing him off so instead of putting the anger towards them he put it on us
@ axel style was unorthodox but sometimes u have to break laws to uphold them but if you have good employees that do what is asked and always complete the work show up on time never call out never use a sick day why treat them like crap and ignore the lazy ones that show up late don’t get anything done decide to leave early and don’t show up without a explanation I don’t get that part
@@jaredharris1970 Realer than Real!!!. Not only is it lonely at the top spots.... Bosses expect more from their best people because the herd of subordinates that do just enough not to get fired.... don't want anymore responsibility; So why not expect more from one's workers who he knows are willing to go above & beyond. There's always a downside to being the top tier. Headaches & stress. Maybe i can work for you someday. ♠️THE VANITY ADDICT♠️
Everything you said in your post was true except for the book. I looked it up on Google which sent me to Amazon, sitting up here anticipating an autobiography on Gil Hill, but instead it was a memoir by a white man named Gil Hill. Damn.
Tod wasnt just a boss to him, he was like a father to Axel Foley, you can see the relationship they had, regardless of what Axel did to disobey him, he always proved to Tod what a real detective is and the lengths he was willing to go to prove his case no matter what, Tod deep down new Axel was the best cop he had, what he was willing to sacrifice to prove his point is a strong reason Tod never let him go and allowed him to get away with so much, in Beverly Hills cop 3 Tod tells him before he dies "Axel are you on a coffee break? Go get that son of a bitch" and he dies in his arms, you see that relationship I'm describing between them at a peak high point just before he Tod dies in part 3 😢
You get the feeling that Eddie got on this big "one last ride" kick after that, and you saw it with Coming 2 America (James Earl Jones, and as it turned out, Louie Anderson and John Amos) and Beverly Hills Cop IV (John Ashton)
They also should of put the part close to the end of Beverly Hills Cop 2 when he told Foley "Now that your done being a California Hero you need to get ass back to ur real job while you still have one!
Love the bit where Axel asked to talk to him after the shooting, about Rand, and Gil stops to listen to him sincerely, because even though he thinks Axel's a loose cannon...he still knows he should to listen to his officers.
The fact that this was his first and only acting roles in Beverly Hills Cop 1 2 and 3 is crazy this man was a natural I'm sure he had plenty of opportunities to act but he didn't do it
Inspector Todd is one of my favorites from Beverly Hills Cop 1, 2 and 3! He can handle Foley in no time just like his own son in the family if you want to solve a crime or want something you need you to ask Todd for it! Sadly Todd was gun down telling Foley, “Axel, you on a coffee break? Go get that son a &@!$”
This guy was so over the top people fell in love with him. You thought Samuel L. Jackson was the original angry black man? Pull up a chair, son. School is in session, and Gil Hill as Inspector Todd is the Dean of the class. RIP Gil Hill.
@@billdivine9501 I want to watch the movie now and count this guy would be in a tie with Samuel L Jackson lol there should be a award for the most amount of fucks said in a movie lol
Massive issue with 3 along with no taggart and bogamil was he's character departing the movie from pretty much the start of the movie,it's one thing that doesn't get talked about enough in relation to bhc3s issues,awesome character.
That last scene kills me 😂😂😂 Inspector Todd walks into his office just to find this dude under his desk , and he's wondering just what the "hell" is goin on ? He's even lookin under the desk just to see if there's anything suspicious around or under his desk . This scene is just too funny 😂😂😂😂😂.
Inspector Todd made the movie just as enjoyable as Axel Foley. Not to mention his friend Jeffrey. He really had Axel’s back. Need to do the best of Jeffrey. Not to mention Billy and Surge. Definitely a shout out to the one scene Damon Wayans did.
Still amazes me this man was not a professional actor and he nailed this part and character perfectly he would have made a great action movie actor in mostly police roles
This man was PERFECT for this role. 40 years later and I'm still laughing.
Mr. Hill did not need to rehearse for this role nor take acting lessons. That was him every day.
Makes me wonder if he talked like that when he served as a Wayne County Sheriff and on the council of the city of Detroit?
@robertedwards7900 He was only with Wayne County Sherriff Deputy for two years. He was with Detroit Police Department for thirty years, including being the head of the homicide department. As head of homicide he was profane verbose, as were many members. As far as the city clowncil their meetings were like barfights.
@ I don’t doubt it. Detroit boy here. Did you know Gil Hill or have any direct interaction with the DPD or council at the time?

THE ORIGINAL SAMUEL JACKSON!!
😂😂😂There it is.
Hell yeah!👍🏽😂

You mean Samuel L got it from him

Fun Fact: The man behind the role was also a real Detroit cop, and retired as that city's top cop.

He was a real Detroit police officer
Irregardless of how Gil Hill was in real life, he was perfect for this role. I can't stop laughing at all the scenes he's in.
“and I’m tired of taking the heat for your ass!” 😂
Lool I say that all the time 😂😂😂
Gil is an INCREDIBLE actor! He steals every scene he's in, and this is with Eddie Murphy! RIP...
The best black boss of all time!
Black Rawls from The Wire.
Todd is so humorous especially 3:50
RIP Mr. Hill (Gilbert Roland Hill 1931 - 2016) 84.. Airforce,, Detroit police,, Detroit councilman... book : the Dancing Preacher in 2015

Rest in Peace Gil Hill I met him twice in Detroit he's the kindest humble man I knew! 💯
How can you leave out "IS THAT FUCKING FOLEY IN HERE"?
EGGGGGZZACTLY... that's why I clicked on the video and they cut it off right at the start.
@@ThatNoizyChild You're absolutely right. I regret cutting that out now.
@@mgcutsAlong with"Ok!!!! Who!!! Tricked My A$$?"😅😅😅😅😂😂😂
Axel: “Shit…”
Love that part!
You gotta re upload this one with it😆
"Expert tutelage? What the fuck have you been telling them?!" is still my favorite line
The expert tutelage scene belongs in here, as well. Inspector Todd has unbeatable delivery.
Yess
'Boss' steals the scene in every one hes in 😅😅😅😅 forget Murphy 😅
And stealing a scene from Eddie Murphy takes talent.
Very true ...
RIP Gil Hill

That's because he was a real life cop. The BHC trilogy were his only acting credits.

And the funniest thing is reading in interviews Gil Hill said he didn’t cuss as much in real life like his character did lol 😂😂😂😂

Fuckkn legend
Check ✔️
He's the best actor to play boss regardless of color and in any movie.
AGREED!!
He was a cop in real life
@jayelbee1111 Affirmative!! Detroit's finest. They was looking for a real cop to play in the movie, so that was a huge plus.

Thank you. RIP , GILL HILL. This is no Sam Jackson. He played himself in Detroit. 1300 Bobean 4 ever. These were the good old days MG CUTS
the TWO small scenes that brother was in the 1st. Beverly Hills Cop. was VERY, memorable. 🤣😂🤣and I was a kid in the 80's and still remember him.
Waited for this video. One of the greatest voices in movie history. RIP Inspector Todd/Gill Hill.
NEVER GETS OLD 😂
When I was a kid in Detroit, I remember him investigating the Gerald Craft and Keith Arnold murders (6 and 8 year old boys).
#RestInParadiseKing Gil Hill. Thank you
I had a boss like him when I was a telephone network installer.. This just makes me smile.
I had a temp job for a cable company's disconnect department and our boss was 88% of this, and he was the best boss I have ever had 35+ years later.
I am from Detroit. He was actually a homicide detective here. That is really him😅. He almost won the election to be mayor. R.I.P.
@@johnlee4492 It would have been a very different city had they elected Mr. Hill instead of the pos Kwame.

He would have been a great mayor of Detroit.
Still amazes me this man was not a professional actor and he nailed this part and character perfectly he would have made a great action movie actor in mostly police roles
Damn, wish you added the "expert tutelage" scene from BHC2
I wish Gil would've gotten just a bit more screen time. He was great. Too bad he's gone.
Todd knew Foley was the best... so he covered for him... but he made sure he chewed him out for it
I love Todd....he don't play 😮😅
Fun fact. He was a corrupt police officer in real life, with ties to Nate Boone, white boy rick and Maserati rick.
