Fred Ward passed away

Oh no, Remo Williams died.

 

I don't know why that's the number one movie of his that comes to mind, but it is and I'll just have to live with that. Also, today I learned Joel Gray is still kicking it at 90 and thankfully not playing Korean characters.

 

I just read that tweet. I swear I didn't read anything in the post before I started typing.

Because I think that was the only movie that he was the lead character/star in, correct? I remember him most from that movie because they showed it constantly on cable back in the 80s. I think that he pretty much played side characters in movies after that, didn’t he? I know that I’ve seen him in a lot of stuff.

Him a Kevin Bacon are the leads in Tremors . He was also the lead in Cast A Deadly Spell which is an HP Lovecraft alt noir film. I loved it when i kid because no one was doing Lovecraft , it doesnt hold up now but its my guilty pleasure.

Yes it is & it's available on Prime/Tubi/Pluto and many other sources. May just watch this in the wee hours after Joe Bob's Last Drive-In tonight!

Exactly it. Just a wonderful, veteran presence. Always delivered with every role.
