This edition of KVC-Arts is in memory of Charles Weldon. David Fleming speaks with Charles about the short-lived music group, The Paradons, as well as his acting career. Charles went on to appear in St. Elsewhere, Sanford and Son (as a cross-dressing thief), Roots: The Next Generations, and a VERY memorable intense role in Stir Crazy. Look it up. If you've seen Stir Crazy, you'll remember him. He was also in pretty much every TV cop show of the 70's, 80's and 90's; The Rockford Files, Kojak, Law & Order, The Streets of San Francisco... so much more. Charles Weldon passed away on December 7th, 2018, just about six months after this interview was conducted.
