Personal Quote:
[his definition of a character actor] Someone who's most usually not an 8x10 glossy. You know, not a Steve Stunning. They're characters. See more »Trivia:
Besides Burt Reynolds, he was the only other actor to appear in both The Longest Yard (1974) and The Longest Yard (2005). He happened to be on the studio that day and Adam Sandler had him added to the golf scene. See more »Trademark:
Often cast as policemen ("True Romance", "Death Wish 3"). See more »Star Sign:
