This is a two-parter:

In the 1975 movie Cooley High, the lead character Preach was aspiring to be a Hollywood screenwriter. In the epilogue he acheived this goal. Preach was based on an actual person. What was his name and what popular 70s TV sitcom did he create? (Hint: double check your sources before you respond).

Part II:
One of the extras in Cooley High, whose name was not listed in the credits, became a very successful writer/actor/director in Hollywood in the 80s and 90s. Who was he?

(If no one gets Part II after 4-5 responses, I will start posting hints).
Part One:Good TImes and I can't think of his name, but he is an actor and he was in Busta Rymes video as a detective. This is the video where Busta was dressed up as a white man running from him. Ohh, I can't think of the name of that song, but I think it was "put ya hands where my eyes can see". now I've got to go and find out this guys name.
