Nathaniel Taylor, the actor best known as Rollo Lawson, the street-smart best friend of the son on the 1970s sitcom "Sanford and Son," has died. Taylor died Wednesday at the Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center in Los Angeles after a heart attack, his son Kaedi Taylor told The Associated Press Saturday. Taylor went on to act in other shows and movies, later opening a performing arts studio for young actors. But his son said Taylor never tired of people recognizing him as Rollo. Nathaniel Taylor also played roles on shows such as "The Redd Foxx Show," ''Police Story" and "What's Happening" and Blaxpoitation films such as "Dynamite" and "Trouble Man."
