Excellent, prolific and versatile character actor Robert DoQui was born in 1934 in Stillwater, Oklahoma. He attended Langston University on a music scholarship and was a member of the popular singing group the "Langstonaires." Following a four year stint in the U.S. Army DoQui went to New York to pursue a career in show business. He first started acting in films and TV shows alike in the mid 60s. He soon amassed a long, diverse and impressive list of credits. DoQui frequently portrays tough, hard-nosed, say-it-like-you-see-it characters with a great deal of fiery brio and steely conviction. Best known as the huffy, no-nonsense Sergeart Warren Reed in all three "Robocop" features, DoQui's other noteworthy film roles include the flamboyant pimp King George in Jack Hill's terrifically trashy blaxploitation classic "Coffy," a former slave in the charming Disney outing "Treasure of the Matecumbe," a fanatical religious cult member in the outrageously sleazy "Guyana: Crime of the Century," and a hot-tempered short order cook in "Miracle Mile." Moreover, DoQui appeared in three movies for acclaimed director Robert Altman: "Nashville," "Buffalo Bill and the Indians, or Sitting Bull's History Lesson," and "Short Cuts." He supplied the voice of Pablo Robertson on the animated "Harlem Globe Trotters" TV series. Among the many television programs DoQui has done guest spots on are "NYPD Blue," a Klingon on "Star Trek: Deep Space Nine," "Picket Fences," "Starman," "Webster," "The Fall Guy," "Punky Brewster," "Hill Street Blues," "The Jeffersons," "Maude," "The Streets of San Francisco," "Sanford and Son," "Kolchak: The Night Stalker," "The Mod Squad," "The Fugitive," "The Man from U.N.C.L.E.," "I Dream of Jeannie," and "The Outer Limits." In addition to his substantial acting credits, Robert DoQui also served for ten years on the Board of Directors of the Screen Actors Guild in which he encouraged both women and minority groups to participate more in the media.
