Godfrey MacArthur Cambridge (February 26, 1933 - November 29, 1976) was an African-American comedian and actor, who was especially popular in the late 1960's and early 1970's. He had originally received a scholarship to study medicine but had decided on a career in acting instead. Memorable film roles include Watermelon Man where he plays the lead character, a white bigot who one day wakes up and discovers his skin color has changed to black and The President's Analyst where he plays a depressed CEA agent. Cambridge died of a heart attack while on the set of the movie Victory at Entebbe in which he was scheduled to portray Idi Amin.
