Star Trek Charles Napier, 1936-2011 (http://www.startrek.com/article/charles-napier-1936-2011)

He's one of those actors who, even if you don't know the name, you recognise his face (and voice) immediately. The guy seemed to have lasted forever!

He did have the dubious distinction of starring in one the (to me) most embarassing episodes of the original STAR TREK, "The Way to Eden", but made up for that by starring in one of the best DS9 ones, "Little Green Men". I guess he was never a huge 'star' in the grand scheme of all things Hollywood, but it's sad when you see the actors you grew up with starting to leave us.

Loved him in The Blues Brothers as the leader of the "Good Ole Boys" and his line about eating corn on the cob with "no f***ing teeth!".

And in Rambo 2, he was a scum! But he was a good actor!

Damn this dude was always a bad-ass

He was ok in Ernest goes to Jail

But was epic as Country Singer from Blues Brothers-hopefully he don't run into Belushi to knock ou his teeth then watch him eat corn on the cob.

I had not heard of his passing until now, he was a great character actor.

Funny, I think Agent Murdock was his most well known role.

He was also in the A-Team. He was always chasing them.

Yeah he is one of those dudes who is all over the place because he really was that good of an actor but most would never be able to pin the name down.

He does leave a great body of work though.

Seen it. But Rambo 2 was the first VHS tape I ever bought back in 1986.
