He was a really good character actor and will be missed.

When I read about the evils of drinking, I gave up reading.

UptownDeb	So I'm reading "ego trip's BBoR" and I come across a Paul Winfield reference. In 1982 he starred in "White Dog" about "a canine trained to attack Black folks on sight." WTF? Winfield plays a trainer who "thinks can reprogram the dog." Don't remember this pic, thank goodness. [This message was edited Wed Mar 10 16:24:32 2004 by UptownDeb]

Quite an interesting film about a hound trained to attack black people, and a black animal trainee, Keys, played by Paul Winfield, for whom it becomes a very personal matter to do a difficult job of deprogramming a dog. Misunderstood by many as a racist film at the time it came out, now it became sort of cult-classic. The most remarkable thing about this movie is certainly the most amazing performance from the main character - which is the dog itself. Only to see this dog acting is a sufficient reason to see this film
