Born in 1933 in Greenup, Kentucky, Matt Bennett made his mark in the 1970s with roles that captured the gritty essence of cult cinema. In The Unholy Rollers (1972), he plays a key role that highlights the film's exploration of women's roller derby culture, while in Hickey & Boggs (1972), he contributes to the film's gritty narrative of two private detectives navigating a corrupt world. Bennett's performances encapsulate the raw energy of exploitation cinema, making him a notable figure in the genre.
Hickey & Boggs
Our two protagonists do not live well. Hickey (Bill Cosby) evidently owns two suits, his marriage is a train wreck and ,for reasons never made clear, he is no longer with the L.A.P.D.. Boggs (Robert Culp) is only seen in the same blue suit and he drinks too much. There is also a hint that Boggs might be gay and pays street hustlers for their services.
