Notes on Ernie Hudson

"Being a supporting actor is like playing in a jazz combo. You could have stolen the scene, but you have to be true to the piece. You just don't go off and do a solo." --Ernie Hudson in ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY, June 10, 1994

"With my educational background and my list of credits, if I were not a black actor I believe roles would have opened up long ago." --Hudson to ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY, June 10, 1994

On being cast as the warden in the HBO series "Oz", Hudson told the DAILY NEWS (October 22, 1997): "I've reached the point in life where I no longer play the prisoner who gets stabbed in the shower."
