John Kerry (the actor not the politician) was in his early 20s when he took on the role as the cocaine sniffing … rat soup eating … crooked cop, Detective Mitchell — who works with his partner, Detective White, to frame the quick-cursing main character — in the 1975 blaxploitation movie, “Dolemite.”
Other notable characters that Kerry shared the big screen with were Lady Reed as the go-to gal and pimp muscle, Queen Bee … and D’Urville Martin as the club stealing gangster with guts, Willie Green.
Fun Fact: John Kerry was also in the 2009 blaxploitation film “Black Dynamite” as the Chief.
