"Gabe was standing at the door, and he’s beaming. "I got a knock on the door," King recalls. And the biggest perk of all came as King relaxed in his trailer after a shoot. The star of "Fast Break" was Gabe Kaplan, best known at the time for playing the title role in "Welcome Back, Kotter". What the hell? Now, I learned many years later, I made more than Al Pacino shooting 'The Godfather' first movie. "I’m driving a Mercedes-Benz convertible, which they paid for, and they paid me $25,000. How much money is that today?"Īdjusting for inflation, that’s about $2,000 a week. He was put up in a Beverly Hills apartment. "And I received a call the next day, and they said that, 'You received the part,' " King recalls. "And I jumped with joy."īernard King was in Los Angeles the following week, joining former UCLA basketball star Michael Warren, who’d later go on to television fame as Officer Bobby Hill on "Hill Street Blues." Also in the cast was Harold Sylvester, a former Tulane player who’d embarked on a career as a character actor. This time, he read along with only five other actors. 'You’re gonna GET this part! You WANT it!' " "And on that trip back in to Manhattan the next day, I went through the same process: 'You’re gonna get this! You’re gonna get this!' Just a little bit louder, though.

"I played pool every day as a kid after basketball, and I developed very good skills in pool."īernard King says nothing ever came easy to him not pool, not even basketball. "Now, Hustler was a pool player," King says. He arrived at a Manhattan hotel, found the reading room and got in line behind about 50 other actors. After a long wait, he read for a character named Hustler. "I started saying out loud, 'You’re gonna get this! You’re gonna GET this!' " "That drive through the Lincoln Tunnel from New Jersey, I started visualizing myself getting that part," he says. King accepted the invitation and got into his car.
