Ode to Stoney Jackson - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Today, we are here to honor the unsung Jackson. The one who took his 15 minutes of fame, and gracefully bowed out of the spotlight...

STONEY JACKSON

So he's not one of those Jacksons. The man still reeks of greatness...Then again, maybe that's curl activator I smell...or Church's Chicken. Yeah, that's it. Church's Chicken.

Stoney Jackson made television history for his inspired performance as "Travis, the upstairs neighbor" on 227. What other self-respecting thespian would be willing to make 80% of his screen apperances in a jacket with no shirt and usually in leather pants? I mean, who else can yell out "I MADE YOU, BARRY SOBEL!" with passion and conviction and actually mean it?

Let's not forget Mr. Jackson's groundbreaking role as the bad guy in the critically acclaimed film "Trippin." How he was ignored by both the Golden Globe and Oscar nominating comittees is unheard of.

Stoney got the award that counts, though. in 1989, S-Curl haircare products named Stoney Jackson their "Man Of The Decade" at their annual banquet at the White Castle in Buttlick Mississippi. His bronze bust is enshrined in their corporate headquarters next to one of Eazy-E. The inscription reads "A meaner shag, there never was."

So let's pay tribute to the greatest Jackson of them all. He may not have ever sold one record or had a single world tour...But hey, he did his thing.

Let's also not forget Stoney as Jesse Mitchell on The White Shadow, and how they always had him in Right On! magazine. Stoney was the man back in the day. He could rock an afro and an S-curl.

LOL, funny thread. I use to have a huge crush on him back in the day. Haven't seen him around lately, I wonder what he's been doing.

He had me laughing when he appeared on family matters. Dudley from Diffrent Strokes was dressed as a female so he and Eddie could see the singer Traci spencer and after he found out Dudley was a guy he said-"THANK GOD, and then Dudley said what do you mean? and Stoney said-"I was hoping no women could be that Ugly"-LOL-LOL

I think I saw Stoney Jackson on last weeks episode of everybody hates Chris.I'm not sure it's him though...

hatwink · 04-23-2006, 03:28 PM

The last time I saw him, it looked like he wasn't aging well.

finemisses · 04-27-2006, 03:25 PM

Yes, that sure was him on Everybody Hates Chris. He didnt look that bad. He played a Karate Instructor that was crazy as hell and taught Chris how to break his brother's hand and he ended up breaking Julius (father) hand.

Is his hair still in a curl or does he have a close cut?
