Actor Born: 1935 in Okmulgee, OK Death: June 3, 1987 in Houston, TX Biography:A full-blooded Muscogee-Creek Indian, "Will Sampson" spent most of his adult life as a successful artist. The towering Sampson was spotted at an art show by an assistant to actor/producer "Michael Douglas"; Douglas then cast Sampson in the important role of enigmatic sanitarium inmate Chief Bromden in the 1976 Oscar-winner "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest". It was the beginning of a ten-year acting career that would embrace both films ("Buffalo Bill and the Indians", "The Outlaw Josey Wales") and television. In the latter medium, "Will Sampson" had a recurring role on the "Robert Urich" private eye series "Vegas" (1978-1981), and starred as a taciturn Native American police officer in the 1977 TV pilot film "Relentless". ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
