Benjamin Earl Davidson (born June 14, 1940 in Los Angeles, California), was an American football player between 1961 and 1971, most notably in the American Football League for the Oakland Raiders from 1964 through 1969 and for the NFL Oakland Raiders in 1970 and 1971. He had also played in the NFL for the Green Bay Packers (1961), and Washington Redskins (1962-63). He was an AFL All-Star in 1966, 1967, and 1968; and an NFL Pro Bowler in 1972. In the mid 1970s, he also played in the World Football League .
He attended Woodrow Wilson High School in Los Angeles, CA, but did not play football while at Wilson High School. Because of his height, basketball was more to his liking. While attending the University of Washington, he was spotted by the football coach and asked to join the football team, where he flourished and gained entry into Professional Football.
He has appeared in a few films including M*A*S*H and Conan the Barbarian. He portrayed Porter the Bouncer in Behind the Green Door. He also played a convict football player in Necessary Roughness.
