Which actor guest-starred as Dr. Mumford in season 1 of The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air?

Richard Roundtree guest-starred as Dr. Mumford in season 1 of The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air.

Roundtree appeared in “Clubba Hubba,” the third episode of the first season. Dr. Mumford is identified as the father of Will’s love interest in the episode, giving the veteran actor a role within one of the show’s early romantic storylines. His guest appearance helped establish the series’ pattern of bringing recognizable film and television performers into the Banks family’s world.

Roundtree is best known for playing private detective John Shaft in the Shaft film series, beginning with the 1971 movie. He later returned to The Fresh Prince in a different role, Reverend Gordon Sims, in season 6. That second appearance is why some episode lists show Roundtree connected with two separate characters.
