Actor Nathaniel Taylor, best known for his role as Rollo on the sitcom 'Sanford and Son,' died after suffering a heart attack.
Actor Nathaniel Taylor, best known as sharp-dressed, smooth-talking ladies' man Rollo Lawson on “Sanford and Son,” died of a heart attack at the age of 80.
Taylor died Wednesday at the Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center in Los Angeles after a heart attack, his son Kaedi Taylor told the Associated Press on Saturday. The elder Taylor was 80.Taylor's character, Rollo, was the sidekick to Lamont Sanford, played by actor Demond Wilson, and often drew the skepticism of TV patriarch Fred Sanford, who thought Rollo was a bad influence on Lamont because he'd spent time in jail.
"It was a time and an era — just to be on TV as a black man, it was an honor," said Kaedi Taylor, who works in the television and film industry behind the scenes."It was an honor for people to remember him."
