Career


Roger Hill played the role of Cyrus in the 1979 film The Warriors.[2] He also portrayed the character of Lil John in the 1974 film The Education of Sonny Carson, and took on the role of Ernest Clay[3] in the 1976 TV Movie Hazard's People starring John Houseman.[4] After his work in The Warriors, Hill performed in the ABC Daytime soap opera One Life to Live playing the part of Alex Lowndes from 1982-1983.[3][5][6]


Hill was chosen to portray the doomed gang lord Cyrus in The Warriors after the original actor chosen for the part, a real life gang leader, mysteriously disappeared just before filming started.[7]


In 2006, Hill filed a lawsuit of $250,000 against Take-Two for using his voice and depiction in the Warriors video game. He claimed that it would not have been difficult for Take-Two to pay, since the game made $37 million. A spokesman for Take-Two stated that the company "has a valid third-party license for the rights to use Roger Hill's likeness and the character of Cyrus in The Warriors video game and related marketing materials".[8]



Personal life


Hill was the father of film editor Chris Hill. Hill died of a heart attack in February 2014 at the age of 65.[2]
