Roger Hill, who played gang leader Cyrus in Walter Hill’s 1979 cult classic “The Warriors,” died Thursday in New York. He was 65.
Hill spent nearly 20 years as an actor, working mostly in theater. He was an early participant in the Frank Silvera Writers’ Workshop and appeared in Off Broadway and touring productions of Charles Gordone’s “No Place to Be Somebody,” Ed Bullins’ “The Fabulous Miss Marie” and “Hamlet.”
But the role with which he made the biggest impression was the charismatic but doomed gang lord Cyrus in Paramount’s “The Warriors"

The Warriors has been playing on the Independent Film channel the past few weeks and comes on again this Friday. I wish they would play that other gang movie called The Wanderers. I liked that movie better then the Warriors but haven't seen it on TV in years.

So was that all the Warriors to be had? 9 max? If they was more Warriors wouldn’t they have shown up to help their delegation that went to the all gang meeting?

1 Warrior = 10 ordinary gang members.
Chuck Norris studies The Warriors tactics.

You have him confused with the guy who shot Cyrus,
famous for the ‘come out and play yay’ line.
