Early life

Hudson joined the U.S. Marine Corps immediately after high school but was discharged after only three months on medical grounds due to asthma.[3] Having moved to Detroit, he became the resident playwright at Concept East, the oldest black theater company in the United States. He enrolled at Wayne State University to further develop his writing and acting skills, graduating in 1973. He established the Actors' Ensemble Theatre where he and other talented young black writers directed and appeared in their own works. He began a doctoral program at the University of Minnesota, Twin Cities before leaving to appear in a stage production of The Great White Hope.[4] Later, he studied toward a Master of Fine Arts in acting at Yale School of Drama, but left after a year to appear in Leadbelly.[5]
In an interview with Belief.net, Hudson stated that he is a practicing Christian, but does not believe that "one church is the right one".[citation needed]

Hudson also appears as the character Munro in Congo (1995) and as Police Sergeant Albrecht in The Crow (1994). He switched gears when he played a preacher opening the eyes of a small town's prejudice in the 1950s in A Stranger in the Kingdom.

In 2019, Hudson began starring in L.A.'s Finest, playing the estranged father of Gabrielle Union's character.

In August 2019, he confirmed his involvement in Ghostbusters: Afterlife directed by Jason Reitman, joining original cast members Sigourney Weaver, Dan Aykroyd, Bill Murray and Annie Potts.[12][13] Hudson described himself as being welled by emotions after he put on his jumpsuit and proton pack, as he had previously "accepted that was never going to happen".[14]
