Austin Stoker

Austin Stoker (October 7, 1930 – October 7, 2022) was a Trinidadian-American actor known for his role as Lt. Ethan Bishop, the police officer in charge of the besieged Precinct 9, Division 13, in John Carpenter's Howard Hawks-inspired 1976 film, ''Assault on Precinct 13''. This was one of the few heroic starring roles for a black actor in an action film of the 1970s outside of the blaxploitation genre. Provided by Wikipedia
