In 1986 Laurence Fishburne was cast as pimp Maurice Haynes in an episode of Hill Street Blues. Haynes, on parole, gets busted in the aptly titled, “Look Homeward, Ninja.” His character survived but never made a second appearance.
Things worked out fine for Laurence Fishburne, though. In 1998 he starred alongside Keanu Reeves in The Matrix. Today he can be seen on Black-ish playing Anthony Anderson’s father, Pops. Dennis Franz had a fine career too, after surviving this disastrous spin-off.
