Born in Detroit in 1951, Hill relocated to the Oneida Nation tribe in Wisconsin when he was 11 years old. From a young age, he developed a liking for comedy while watching TV shows with Black satirist Dick Gregory, who utilized humor to highlight social injustices.

On December 20, 2013, Hill passed away at the age of 62. Charlie breathed his last breath in Oneida, Wisconsin, the place where he spent the majority of his life. As the actor was briefly battling lymphoma, the disease took him.

The pivotal break of Charlie Hill would be in 1977 when he made an appearance on the short-lived sketch comedy TV program Richard Pryor Show, a show hosting Black comics and known to utilize humor to dismantle racial boundaries.

Later, he refused an offer from Pryor and his head writer to participate in one of the show's routines which were based on offensive tits bits and degrading stereotypes. At that moment, Hill expressed that he wanted to do some of his own stand-up material that would debunk Native American stereotypes. And as a result, Pryor offered him time for the sketch, and eventually, Charlie shone for his brilliance.

About his fortune, since his death was almost a decade ago, there are various sources varying on the amount, however, his net worth is reported to be around 1.5 million USD.
