Last night I was watching "The Hypnotist" I noticed towards the end of the show, there was a black actor. I can't remember any other episodes that have black actors in it. Can anyone think of one? If not, I think that the one actor that did appear should get some recognition. It might seem minute, but I think it is might be somewhat historic. Especially given the time in which it aired.

I noticed this as well, but I never really thought much about it. It was an interesting thing to see though, considering the time it was made. Off the top of my head, I don't remember any other black actors appearing on the show during the 50's, I can't speak much on episodes from the 60's and 70's though. As for the actor's name, that's something we'll probably never figure out, mainly due to how small the part was, and the fact that he never appeared in any other Honeymooners sketches. Here's the IMDb page for that particular show, but all the actors listed were regulars on the Jackie Gleason Show: http://imdb.com/title/tt0851758/
