Because I believe Ernie Hudson to be the most type-cast actor in history, I've amassed a list of movies and television episodes in which he plays an authority figure, specifically a law enforcement official. These are listed almost solely based on whether his character's official title was included on IMDB. I tried to research the others but even I don't have that much time. Think of how many more there could be. You can even just read the character titles in red to get the idea.
