Augustus Hill

Augustus Hill is a fictional character, played by Harold Perrineau on the American television show Oz, serving as the show's narrator. 2Character overview Mentored by his godfather Burr Redding, Hill started selling and using drugs during his teenage years. In 1995, a SWAT team busted Hill's apartment while he and his wife were having sex. As he tried to make his escape on the roof, Hill was cornered and killed one of the SWAT officers. In retaliation, he was thrown off the roof and left paralyzed from the waist down. At the Oswald Maximum Security Penitentiary ("Oz"), Hill is a mostly neutral figure. As he uses a wheelchair and is not associated with any gang members, Hill remains one of the more consistently decent characters, struggling to avoid moral compromises while staying alive in the prison. Hill serves as the narrator of the series, even after his character is killed in the fifth season. 3Season 1 Hill is one of the inmates sent to "Emerald City," an experimental cell block designed to rehabilitate prisoners from differing backgrounds. He works in the dress factory with inmates Bob Rebadow and Tobias Beeche
