Clarence is also famous for his roles on Matlock and Walker Texas Ranger. Clearence's early television roles include a recurring role on ChiPs, and 2 episodes of Different Stokes.

  2. I saw Sundown in a Japanese bar the other day. Some American kid was trying to break 6 pieces of ice with a karate chop and he made it. (Karate Kid Part II)
