Sherman Hemsley has graced TV audiences for decades with his on screen boisterous persona as well as his horse shoe haircut. After acting in All in the Family, he starred in The Jeffersons which was a successful spin-off series and was the first and longest running comedy (or series of any genre) with a predominantly African American cast in the history of American television. The show was so popular Sherman Hemsley evetually graced the cover of TV Guide. Though many tv actors may find being bald a cracutch, Hemsley's case, his bald head added to his obnoxiousness and onscreen performance. We all know that it would not be the same if he had a full head of hair.
