'Superfly' was a surprise hit in 1972.

LOS ANGELES (Jan. 16) - Ron O'Neal, whose role as cocaine dealer Youngblood Priest in the 1972 film "Superfly" epitomized the so-called "blaxploitation" film genre of that era, died Wednesday of cancer, his wife said. He was 66.

O'Neal was raised in Cleveland, where he became involved in Karamu House, an experimental interracial theatrical troupe.

He moved to New York in 1966 and taught school to support himself.

In 1970, he won an Obie Award for his performance in Joseph Papp's Public Theatre production of "No Place To Be Somebody." His acting gained the attention of the producers of "Superfly."

"Superfly" was a surprise hit, leading O'Neal to reprise the role and take over directing chores in the sequel, 1973's "Superfly TNT."

Unfortunately for O'Neal, his bad-boy persona became entwined with the entire blaxploitation film genre, which quickly devolved into parody.

Undaunted, he embarked on a long career as a character role player on TV and film, appearing in such low budget films as "Mercenary Fighters" (1987) and "Up Against the Wall" (1991), which he also directed. He appeared in 2002's "On The Edge."
