I met Big Red when I worked at an insurance agency on 14th & Rhode Island Blvd NW in DC years ago. I walked to the 7-11 & he passed by me walking. I said wow you're Big Red( couldn't think of his real name..lol) He smiled & said yes. He said he was staying nearby on Logan's Circle. I asked him if he could stop by & say hi to my co-worker & he did. Very nice & down to earth gentleman. Continued blessings to him.
From his debut in DISCO GODFATHER to the referee in PENITENTIARY 2. One of the Jook Joint patron in THE COLOR PURPLE. From One Eyed Sam in I'M GONNA GIT YOU SUCKA to Big Red in the know favorite FIVE HEARTBEATS, as well as Brother Clause on season 3 of MARTIN. Hawthorne James is one legendary, classic actor I've always enjoyed watching. I'm glad he doing well and GOD BLESS HIM🙏
Such a Great and Seasoned Actor. I would love to see him doing his thing on stage, Live Theaterrrr....ijs! Keep the Videos coming Mr. Swoope, you're doing a excellent job keeping Us informed!!!
The main antagonist in "Disco Godfather" with the late great Rudy Ray Moore. And we can't forget that crazy episode of "Martin" where he told Cole "find my baby clown"....LOL. Love this cat...
Terry Swoop, actually he did great as the bus driver!! If your a public safety officer, worker or health care pro, the first rule is "Stay Calm"! Fr fr! Im a health care pro so i get, if u flip out, everyone will follow, so u have to maintain a reserve behavior even tho your goin nuts inside!!!!! He followed protocol to the tee, and if you read any SOP(Standard Operating Procedure) book on Transit Bus Driving, he did exactly wt he was supposed to do☺👏🏼🙏🏼👍🏼 Stay posting cuz i like stuff like this and just so happens.. The Five Heartbeats is one of the greatest movies of all time to me😁💕🤗
We have many fine actors and actresses within the black community. My only regret is that these talented entertainers are not paid enough for their work. I hope 🤞 some day this will change and more roles open up for minorities working hard each day giving everything for public entertainment for everyone’s enjoyment in Television 📺, film 🎞 and movies 🎥 .
I have seen him in many more movies I do believe I seen him in some movies, from the '70s and 80's I didn't know he had been around that long I seen him in a movie called stick up kids I love that movie thanks for sharing n
Lol I remember when he was on one of the Christmas episodes of Martin. Ready to blow up the studio until his girlfriend, Shirley from What’s Happening showed up
Forreal! He was ahead of his time in this Role.. Suge Knight was actually doing shit like this in real life, and he depicted it as 'Big Red'. Legendary charachter.
Mr. Swooped I don't think you knew but Hawthorne James also played a semi pro Basketball team owner / Drug dealer in the Blaxploitation film : Disco Godfather starring Rudy Ray Moore.
Jocelyn Carter: He was great in the movie the Five Heartbeats! Was that his child or granddaughter? Cute on how she reacted to his story! Very creative on his part!
THE STORY OF THE HANGING THE ARTIST OUT THE WINDOW IS TRUE ,IT HAPPEN TO RED ONE OF THE CHILITES ,I REMEMBER WHEN IT HAPPENED I WAS WORKING WITH THE OJAYS AT THE TIME!!!
I think hes a good Actor our cinema many movies sometimes at in recognize them because he came to so much whatever character he plays like he does make a great bag guy I would love to meet him to sit and talk with them these amazing and I'm glad we still have him around I hope you do more movies look a forward to seeing his next project
Mr. James' acting in Five Heartbeats was very realistic. Can't help but hate him in the movie. Yup, you are right, he should have gotten an award for his role!

I know him, and Bird. They're the COOLEST Brothers you'll ever want to meet. My name is Paxton, and this is a TRUE story. In April of 1997, as a matter of fact it was Easter Sunday. My Oldest Daughters Mom was Pregnant with her at the time, I mean she was "BIG",had a little over two months left of her Pregnancy, My Baby was born July 4th, 1997@9;46 pm, but anyways we were at the Butcher Shop in The WEST END Downtown Dallas, and guess who came walking through the door!? Bird, and Big Red, they doing a play at THE MAJESTIC that's also Downtown Dallas, Mannnn we chopped it up! You heard me, and we a Good Time, and they was asking my ex how far along she was, and we just had a BLAST, and by the way The Butchers Shop is a Steak House, and you pick your own cut, and you cook your own on a open.flame pit with different kinds of Seasoning, and Salad, and all kinds of shit. We had FUN!
Bird walked up on Big Red in public talking very harsh. Big Red told Bird when his office hours were. Bird insisted they talk now, he suffered dire consequences for his actions.
My office hours are between 9 to 5 😆

That scene with Byrd was base on an incident that happened to Jackie Wilson when he didn't want to renew his contract with Brunswick records
What a Great great portrayal in Heartbeats!!! Still talked about often...
Just because YOU would freak out doesn’t mean everyone else will-you can’t make that call!!!!
Thank you cuz I always be the calm one...in wrecks, shoot outs, and deaths....I was taught that as a leader I gotta remain calm it helps moral.
It's just a movie...calm down.😉
I remember he was in a Christmas episode on Martin. He asked Pam : You ever had your hair rolled with a stick of dynamite baby! 😂🤣
