Oldest son, Fred, is a very successful San José Police Dept. California (USA) officer. He is the son of a Cameroonian crown prince. Has a Bay Area hardcore punk band named after him. Moved from Littleton, Colorado to Canada, because he felt it would be safer to live there. Two years after moving, he saw the news coverage on Columbine, and recognized some of the kids fleeing the school. Both parents are African Jews. In an interview he said being fully Black and Jewish gave other kids even more reason to pick on him growing up in New York City. However, to this day, he remains a devout, practicing Jew. Campaigned for Steve Forbes during his bid for the Republican nomination for the Presidency in the 2000 primaries. Turned down the role of Lando Calrissian in 'Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back' (1980). He feared that Lando would be killed in the movie, and that he would be forever typecast.
