Rudy Ray Moore is Dolemite. When those five words came across movie screens back in 1975 it made history. Film history, black history, everyone’s history! Dolemite was a seminal film in the blaxploitation genre because it was one of the first films in the genre to actually be created by African-Americans. Before Moore cast himself as Dolemite he was already famous for his outrageous comedy and singing albums. Since Dolemite’s release Moore has put out a number of Dolemite sequels and been involved in a number of different projects.
