A charismatic, burly black stage actor, Charles S. Dutton first won fame for his acclaimed, Tony-nominated performances in the August Wilson plays "Ma Rainey's Black Bottom" (1985) and "The Piano Lesson" (1990). When he first burst on the theatrical scene in the mid-1980s, Dutton found that his own back story made for interesting copy with the press. The Baltimore native had a troubled childhood, punctuated with stints in reform school. After dropping out in the seventh grade, he tried his hand as an amateur boxer under his nickname 'Roc'. At age 17, though, he was convicted of manslaughter
