Robert Hooks (born Bobby Dean Hooks; April 18, 1937) is an American actor, producer, and activist.[1] Along with Douglas Turner Ward and Gerald S. Krone, he founded The Negro Ensemble Company.[2][3] The Negro Ensemble Company is credited with the launch of the careers of many major black artists of all disciplines, while creating a body of performance literature over the last thirty years, providing the backbone of African-American theatrical classics. Additionally, Hooks is the sole founder of two significant black theatre companies: the D.C. Black Repertory Company, and New York's Group Theatre Workshop.[4]
