Biography

Cambridge won a four year scholarship to study medicine but decided instead to become an actor, leaving college in his third year. He acted in many off-Broadway productions, winning the Village Voice's Obie Award in Jean Genet's The Blacks; and on Broadway he gained a Tony Award Nomination in Purlie's Victorious. It was as a comedian that he broke into television, initially in the Jack Paar Show. Having previously had occasional parts, he established himself in films in the late sixties. He played both comic and straight roles but is likely remembered such portrayals as that of the white bigot who wakes up one morning to find himself turned black in _Watermelon Man, The (1970)_ . His compulsive eating probably contributed to his untimely death at 43 on the set of the television film Victory at Entebbe (1976) (TV) in which he was to have played General Idi Amin.
