Bald Black Leader Guy | comment |
This trope is under discussion in the Trope Repair Shop. Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })In a show that deals with the police, military, or some other armed force of peacekeeping, there's a very good chance that The Leader of the outfit — or at least the one everybody respects — will be a bald black man. Apparently, there is something about being both bald and black which makes a leader popular enough to be appointed, and that something doesn't work when you only have one of the two. It might be that the image invokes strong masculinity, a no-nonsense "get it done" attitude that lends itself well to the setting. This can also apply to leaders of other sorts of groups as well, as long as those groups are "good." Possibly a form of a Token Minority, if he's the only person of color present. The writers might be hoping to avoid the usual problems of tokenism by making the one black character someone in a position of authority and respect who's essential to the plot every week, but the biggest drawback is that he still isn't the lead; it's not his story being told and there's no guarantee that he will grow and evolve as a character over the course of the series. Of course there are exceptions, with Star Trek: Deep Space Nine standing out by making the Bald Black Leader Guy also the lead role. Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })His (usually) significantly less bald Distaff Counterpart is the Black Boss Lady. May overlap with Scary Black Man if he's also intimidating. There is also the optional BBBBB (Ball-Busting Bald Black Boss.) Many examples of this primarily televisual archetype may or may not qualify for all 5 'B' points - but can still embody many of them. Before adding examples, please make sure the character is actually bald when you post him. The buzz cut is quite popular among black men and is not the same thing as having no hair at all, and thus Barack Obama as U.S. President (for example) would not count. There's a lot of space between "bald" and "afro". Subtrope to Bald of Authority. |

Uncle Phil from The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air. In the second half of the show, he's a district judge. Also, in the final season, the Republican Party recruits him to run for another political position, though he decides to drop out of the election. Besides these, Uncle Phil is definitely a strong leader within his family and becomes Will's father figure. | |

Angel: Gunn, at least in his first few appearances. At Angel Investigations he's more like "Bald Black Big Guy". Subverted when he grows his hair out in the fifth season. He becomes one again in the comic-book continuation, After the Fall. Albeit an evil, vampire version. |

In Chuck, "Big Mike" Tucker is the bald, black manager of the Buy More—though he's really more of a figurehead as he's about as interested in doing any work as the rest of the staff (i.e. not very) and so it's Chuck who ends up doing most of the actual leading, in between saving the world, or the series of evil assistant managers. | |

Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.: Alphonso "Mack" Mackenzie (whose comic counterpart is white) briefly takes charge of S.H.I.E.L.D. midway through season three, and manages to take out a major Hydra asset. Mack later takes the role as Director for good at the end of season five, as Coulson is terminally ill and Daisy (his handpicked replacement) doesn't consider herself worthy of the position. Mack is consistently a firm but fair leader, although he struggles under The Chains of Commanding at times. | |

Basque Grand of Fullmetal Alchemist. He's not the leader of the country, but he is a high-ranking officer (a Brigadier-General at the time of his death) and during his time as a Colonel Badass was Roy Mustang's immediate superior during the Ishvalan Civil War, although the "black" part is debatable. | |

In the film series of The Hunger Games, more specifically Mockingjay, Commander Boggs is portrayed this way as the second-in-command with the "District 13" rebels. Katniss comes to genuinely trust him and see him as a friend. There is actually evidence — he's one of the ones to figure out — that like several other characters, District 13's President Alma Coin wanted him and the rest of the "Star Squad" out of the picture, being popular figures she couldn't expect to reliably side with her... which in turn suggests that Coin placing him where she did was out of fear if Boggs lived through the last stages of the war, he'd become a peacetime case of this. | |

Played with on Brooklyn Nine-Nine: Captain Holt is not quite bald, but he has a very short-buzz cut and possesses the standard personality of this character (authoritative, serious, commanding, etc.) By season three, he practically is bald. On the other hand, Sgt. Jeffords has been bald from the start, but is less imposing and authoritative personality-wise and is a bit more neurotic than the standard example of the trope. However, he often plays the Only Sane Man amongst the other squad members outside of Holt, and he gets promoted to captain by the end of the series, playing the trope more straight. |

USS Kelvin's commander, Captain Robau in Star Trek (2009). His ethnicity isn't given in the movie (the actor is Faran Tahir, a Pakistani-American). Word of God has it that Robau was born in Cuba.

In Knights of the Old Republic, the player meets the Hidden Bek gang on Taris, led by one of these. The player and the Bald Black Leader Guy (depending on player choices) can end up helping each other out for mutual benefit. It counts because the Beks are more about security and brotherhood, while their rivals are just trying to take over the under-city. Also, Jolee Bindo. Not quite the leader, but as the oldest member of your party, he offers a lot of guidance and still kicks ass. |

Ultimate Marvel: Ultimate Nick Fury, who was explicitly based off of Samuel L. Jackson with his permission, and played by him in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. (Fury is white and has hair in mainstream continuity, although a version of Samuel L. Jackson's Fury was later introduced as his son.) Fittingly, the artists started depicting him with a shaved head around the same time that he became the leader of The Ultimates; in his first appearance in Ultimate X-Men, when he was still a S.H.I.E.L.D. field agent, he had a fade haircut.note Surprisingly enough, he wasn't always modeled after Samuel L. Jackson | |

Roy in The Order of the Stick is black in a family of bald men and the leader of his team, although he's a bit more hammy and much more snarky than usual examples of this trope. The King of Nowhere also qualifies, from what we see of him in a flashback panel (which is among the reasons Roy was confused with him at one point). | |

The trope is briefly discussed in Facing the Giants when the token minority teacher suggests that the coach may be getting hair plugs since the only white guy who is bald and looks cool is Kojak. | |

Max Steel: Jefferson Smith, Josh McGrath/Max Steel's adoptive father, fills this role for most of the original continuity. He does get replaced as the Big Good by Jet Ferrus starting with Bio-Crisis, but he's still the one running the show in N-Tek even when he's not present anymore. | |

His stipulation for his likeness being used for Ultimate Nick Fury (see the comics section) was that he get first dibs on playing the character in any movies. Marvel Studios kept their promise, and Jackson plays Nick Fury in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. His performance is so iconic that the main comics have started adopting it for themselves. | |

Star Trek: Deep Space Nine had Captain Sisko, also played by Avery Brooks, be clean-shaven with a full head of hair to avoid comparisons to Hawk. In the Season 3 premiere "The Search, Part 1" he'd grown back the goatee and had shaved his head in the Season 4 premiere "The Way of the Warrior" once there was a noticeable characterization difference between Sisko and Hawk. (Mainly, Spenser had a series of post-script movies, so Brooks was playing Hawk again; he kept his Hawk look in DS9. When production commenced on Season 4, DS9 producers expected Paramount executives to complain, but to their surprise executives had no problems with the new look). | |

Agil is tall, bald, black and has a goatee. He's one of Kirito's trusted friends while trapped in Sword Art Online, and fights as well as he looks with a large battleaxe. In real-life, he owns a bar. He was once the the de-facto leader of a group of tank players who fought on the fronts lines separate from the Aincrad Liberation Squad and Dragon Knights Brigade, in the earlier days of SAO. | |

In ThunderCats (2011), Old Soldier and Four-Star Badass Panthro takes on this role in his debut. Having singlehandedly rescued the rest of the ThunderCats from a tight spot, he's incredulous at their lack of "adult supervision" and young king Lion-O's impulsiveness, in particular. Panthro demands they defer to him on a shared mission and refuses to acknowledge Lion-O as his liege until Lion-O proves himself in battle. | |

"Sarge" Redford in Battlefield: Bad Company has an unknown level of baldness (He wears a hat, but some hair can be seen otherwise, so he's at least not entirely bald for sure), but leads the rather bumbling squad, sometimes serving as the Only Sane Man alongside Marlowe.

Tu'Shan, Chapter Master of Warhammer 40,000's Salamanders Space Marine chapter. Very bald and very, very black. Vulkan, the Primarch of the Salamanders is black and bald. Ahzek Ahriman, Arch-Sorcerer of the Thousand Sons, is a rarer evil example of this trope, judging by his depiction◊ in the Fury of Magnus book. |

Possibly subverted by DHS agent Brad in Dead Rising. He doesn't seem to have any authority over anyone besides his partner Jessie, and while he may be the one allegedly supplying food and essentials to the growing survivor population in the sealed Security Room, he doesn't hold a candle to Frank, who, blessed with incredible charisma, can lead large posses of frightened people through throngs of the undead. | |
