Albert Popwell, (15 July 1926 - 9 April 1999), was an African-American actor in TV and films from the late 1960s. Born in New York City, Popwell started as a professional dancer before taking up a career in acting. He was more prolific on TV in character roles in various series, but he is perhaps best known for his appearances in films opposite Clint Eastwood, whom he supported on five occasions, notably in the Dirty Harry series.

He was more prolific on TV in character roles in various series, but he is perhaps best known for his appearances in films opposite Clint Eastwood, whom he supported on five occasions, notably in the Dirty Harry series. He was a wounded bank robber at the receiving end of Eastwood's now legendary, "Do you feel lucky?" speech from Dirty Harry (1971) and was most notable as a murderous pimp in Magnum Force. He appeared as Big Ed Mustapha in the The Enforcer (1976) and on the right side of the law, as Eastwood's partner in Sudden Impact (1983). He did not appear in the last film in the series, The Dead Pool, due to a scheduling conflict. One of his final roles was opposite Sharon Stone in Scissors (1991). He died eight years later at age 72, following post-operative complications after surgery.
