Pioneering actor Fred Williamson on sticking to his guns

Fred "The Hammer" Williamson has paid the cost to be the boss. He's raised hell up in Harlem, killed vampires from dusk 'til dawn, and delivered hammering hits to numerous NFL wide receivers. 

Today the football defensive backer-turned-actor joins guest host Rachel Giese to reflect on his celebrated career -- from his headturning debut in M*A*S*H, to his 1970s "Blaxploitation" films, to his recent roles in films like Black Cobra and Dusk til Dawn. Last week, The Hammer" was honoured by the Toronto Black Film Festival, receiving their first ever pioneer award.
