Richard Brooks

Highest Rated: 89% To Sleep With Anger (1990)

Lowest Rated: 14% The Crow: City of Angels (1996)

Birthday: Dec 9, 1962

Birthplace: Cleveland, Ohio, USA

While he shares his name with the late Oscar-winning screenwriter-director and a respected cinematographer, actor Richard Brooks has carved his own niche in show business. The handsome, African-American performer perhaps remains best-known for his three-year (1990-93) stint as assistant district attorney Paul Robinette on NBC's "Law & Order" despite a career that has encompassed stage and screen.
