Charles Napier dies at 75

He usually played the heavy in most of his roles........ Charles Napier was also a gun-guy and avid hunter. He was a guest on many outdoor shows over the years.

Character actor Charles Napier dies at 75

BAKERSFIELD, California (AP) — Character actor Charles Napier, whose granite jaw and toothy grin earned him tough-guy roles in movies like "Rambo: First Blood Part 2," has died in California at 75.
Longtime friend Dennis Wilson tells the Bakersfield Californian that Napier died Wednesday at Bakersfield Memorial Hospital. No other details are being released.
Napier may be best known as the scheming intelligence officer facing Sylvester Stallone in the 1985 "Rambo" sequel.
He's also remembered as Good Ole Boys front man Tucker McElroy in the 1980 musical comedy film "The Blues Brothers."
Napier was the judge in 1993's "Philadelphia," and he was Lt. Bill Boyle in 1991's "Silence of the Lambs."

Two Napier appearances stick out for me. First, as one of the space hippies in the Star Trek episode "The Way to Eden." Second, as Tucker McElroy - leader of the Good Old Boys - in "The Blues Brothers." Sad to hear of his passing.
