    He also plays Billy in 48 Hours. My brother and I never use his real name to reference him, we affectionately refer to him as Billy Bear.

    He also has a bit part as some sort of mad heroin fiend in Action Jackson, and he has a major villain role in a Chuck Norris movie called Firewalker.

    I'm sure Juke Skywalker remembers him well. He's one of those memorable bit players from 80s action movies.

    Bruce Forsyth - I'm sure the majority of the posters on here from the UK feel like they've grown up with him in their living rooms such was his presence on prime time tv.

    Sonny Landham - starred in 2 of my favourite 80s movies, 48 hrs and Predator, I didn't realise he was that old.

    CT-867-5309 absolutely. He was one of those "Hey, it's that guy." guys that would pop up in the sort of genre movies I was raised on. Everybody knows Predator, but Action Jackson is a decent second generation Blaxploitation flick w/Carl Weathers rock solid in the title role, and Firewalker is a nice little departure for Chuck Norris, with the great Lou Gossett Jr. backing him up.

    I was reading that Variety article and got a chuckle out of this line...

    was best known for portraying Native American tracker Billy Sole in Arnold Schwarzenegger-starrer “Predator” in 1987. However, he did not appear in the film’s sequels.

    Don't know if the writer has actually ever seen Predator, but there's a pretty good reason for that.

    The MDA Labor Day telethon was a big part of my childhood growing up, in large part because of Lewis.

    My first thought on seeing the headline was literally, "Please let someone finally release The Day the Clown Cried now."
