The one you have in mind is Grady Demond Wilson (born October 13, 1946) is a close look-alike and an American actor / author.

(…No relationship at all to either Richard Roundtree or @Lionheart …!!:blush::sparkles:… )

He played the role of Lamont Sanford , the son of Fred Sanford (played by the extremely funny Redd Foxx (RIP) on the NBC sitcom Sanford and Son that aired from 1972–1977.

Hehe, I see what you did there. As far as I know, I’m not related to these people, either by blood or looks (picture not available for now), and King Richard The Lionheart died long before I was born. But Sanford was an interesting TV show. May they rest in silence.

Damn , the resemblance is uncanny.

Hehe, I see war has been declared while I was away. Well, while I might not be able to compete with the lady’s headstrong nature, there’s a glimmer of hope. At least she knows I don’t look like Quasimodo from The Hunchback of Notré Dame–no frightening visage, no unorthodox table mannerisms either; promise of healthy offspring without blemish.
Strangely, all these push and pull theatrics are just out of the baseless fear that I might bruise her priceless and reclusive Miss Squeamish. Tell her it doesn’t work like that, there is a technique to every extreme sport, as this is obviously one for Truwoman. It’s what it is…Oh, and I’m a gentleman on occasion. Well, we might still open that bottle some day, who knows?
