The stache is what throws you initially. That’s understandable as a soup strainer does make one look significantly more intelligent, cultured, masculine, and distinguished.

Back in the late 1940's, Woody Strode played football for the Calgary Stampeders CFL football team.  In 1948 Calgary won the Grey Cup over the Toronto Argonauts.  All kids in Calgary got a half day off from school to meet the team on their return to Calgary.  My mother and I (my Dad was at work) went to the parade and saw Woody Strode however, we didn't know at that time that he would end up in the movies. He has a Grey Cup ring.  According to the team stats, Woody wore jersey #42 and he played end. He was 6'3" and 205 lbs.

" 'I got a cultural education—majored in history and education*,' he said in a 1971 interview. 'Never used it, but I could walk into the White House with it now.' "

Sheriff Woody from Toy Story is named after him.  :)
