hmm...what can I tell you about Glynn Turman.
Well, he originated the role of Travis Younger on Broadway in "A Raisin in the Sun" back in 1959.
I believe, but don't quote me, that he was an original member of The Negro Ensemble Co. theatre group out of NYC
He's done several movies including Cooley High and The Inkwell. And tons of TV. He plays Mayor Royce on "The Wire".
He was married to Aretha Franklin at one time.
