Larry Poindexter (born December 16, 1959) is an American actor and singer.

Early life Poindexter was born in the city of Dallas, Texas on December 16, 1959.

Career He may be best known for his role in 2003's S.W.A.T., in which he played by-the-book LAPD Captain Tom Fuller, who went head to head with Samuel L. Jackson's character "Hondo".
