|
 |
| Quote: | Bubba Smith, the 6-foot-7 former National Football League player and one of the performers in the Police Academy movies, was found dead earlier today at his Baldwin Hills home in Los Angeles. Smith was 66. No foul play is suspected.
As a professional football player, Charles Aaron 'Bubba' Smith (born February 28, 1945, in Beaumont, Texas) played with the Baltimore Colts, Oakland Raiders, and Houston Oilers from the late '60s to the mid-'70s.
From the late '70s on, Smith began to sporadically appear in films. His one notable big-screen role was that of soft-spoken florist-turned-police cadet Moses Hightower, later promoted to sergeant and finally lieutenant in the Police Academy movies of the mid-to-late '80s. Those were inane slapstick fare that was generally derided by critics; the first movie in the series, however, became a major box-office hit, collecting more $81 million in 1984 (or about $192 million today). Hugh Wilson directed, and Steve Guttenberg and Kim Cattrall starred.
Among Smith's other film roles were those in Nico Mastorakis' The Naked Truth (1993), Ezio Greggio's The Silence of the Hams (1994), and Shedrack Anderson III's Blood River (2010). He also co-starred with former NFL player Dick Butkus in the short-lived television series Blue Thunder. |
