Salt-and-pepper-haired, frequently mustachioed African-American character player Richard Gant tackled supporting roles in a plethora of Hollywood A-list features during the 1980s and '90s. Among other efforts, his resumé from that period includes Suspect (1987), Rocky V (1990), Jason Goes to Hell: The Final Friday (1993), and CB4: The Movie (1993). Gant continued his big-screen roles through the tail end of that decade and well into the 2000s, but also achieved substantial recognition and audience identification on the small screen, with a regular role as Sgt. Bill Dornan on Steven Bochco's hit #92;cop drama NYPD Blue. Gant later appeared memorably as the livery stable owner Hostetler on the HBO #92;Western #92;drama Deadwood, and joined the cast of long-running #92;soap opera General Hospital as Dr. Russell Ford in 2007. ~ Nathan Southern, All Movie Guide
