"Who's the cat that won't cop out, when there's danger all about, SHAFT!"

Before all the special effects and matrix style cop movies, there were characters named Paul Kersey, Popeye Doyle, Harry Callahan, Frank Serpico, and my favorite from all of that era, John Shaft. Sure you might say I am stuck in the 1970's and retro is all right for a little while and I need to move on and get with the 21st Century movie technology. I hear that quite actually all the time. However for me, that era of late 1960's to mid 1970's car chasing butt kicking cop movies still gets my attention and thrills me to no end. With that said, one of the most iconic characters of that era will be signing autographs this July in Burbank, Ca.

Richard Roundtree, before he stepped into the role of a character actor, made his name as John Shaft in the 1971 film "Shaft". Mr. Roundtree will be making his first time west coast appearance at The Hollywood Show over the weekend of July 23rd-25th. So all you bad mothers out there, all you '70's retro nuts, all you autograph collectors who remember paying $2.00 for a feature movie or mom and dad bringing us all down the drive-in, get your SHAFT memorabilia ready as Richard Roundtree will be here in town signing for 3 days.
