Carl Lee (November 22, 1926April 17, 1986), born Carl Vincent Canegata, was an American actor. He was also the son of actor/professional boxer Canada Lee (1907–1952).〔(Actor Carl Lee biography. )〕 In a 2000 interview, filmmaker James Toback stated, "In the sort of hip world of New York, Carl Lee was the hip-black-actor icon. He was for hip people what Sidney Poitier was for mainstream people." Lee played a heroin dealer, the title role in the Obie Award-winning play ''The Connection''. He later appeared in the film version.〔(Carl Lee credits at Off-Broadway (Lortel.org) Database )〕 Lee, who made his first film appearance in the 1954 film ''Human Desire'', went on to appear in such films as ''A Man Called Adam'' (1966) opposite Sammy Davis, Jr. and Cicely Tyson, and the now classic blaxploitation film ''Superfly'' (with the late Ron O'Neal) in 1972. He also appeared in various television roles in such shows as ''The Defenders'', ''Mannix'', and ''Good Times'' ("Willona's Surprise", 1977) in a memorable performance in which he portrayed Willona Woods's conniving ex-husband Ray, who makes sexual advances towards Thelma (Bernadette Stanis). Lee suffered a heroin addiction which led to his death.〔 ==Acting filmography== ;Television * ''Keeping On'' (1981)...as ''Davis'' * ''Good Times'' (1977)...as ''Ray Woods'' in "Willona's Surprise" (1 episode) * ''Serpico'' (1976)...as ''Carothers'' in "The Deadly Game" (1 episode) * ''Barbary Coast'' (1975)...as ''Currier'' in "Jesse Who?"
