Rollo Lawson

Rollo Lawson is the best friend of Lamont Sanford and Fred's nemesis on Sanford and Son. Nathaniel Taylor, who first appeared as Rollo in the episode Have Gun, Will Sell (Season 2, Episode #7) reprised the role of Rollo on its spin-off series Sanford in the pilot episode The Meeting: Part 1. Fred, who dislikes Rollo, will often make disrespectful remarks towards him, usually stating that he thinks Rollo is a criminal, as Rollo had spent time in jail before his present job as a gas station service attendant. Rollo appears in the show every so often to come pick up Lamont so they can go out and chase women. Also, they sometimes go to pornographic films or what Rollo calls "skin flicks." His mother, Rita, is also friends with Lamont's Aunt Esther. The part of Rollo was played by Nathaniel Taylor.
