A bit OT: Ed Lauter has died.

[CMIZ5290]

I liked him in "Cujo" and "Magic", Two pretty scary movies. He was also in Charles Bronson's last Death Wish movie I believe....

Wasn't he a cop on Hill Street Blues series in the early 80's ?

I'm surprised no one has mentioned the mlb ump who just passed away that worked the tigers vs A's series last week.

You are confusing Ed Lauter with Michael Conrad who was also in "The Longest Yard" as convict Nate Scarboro, a former New York Giants player. Scarboro joked during the movie about making his first touchdown in the Guards-Con game after all of his years in the pros. Conrad died of cancer in 1983.

Sad to hear about Ed Lauter.

One of my favorite character actors.

RIP, Mr. Lauter.

Thank you for clearing that up Brian. I seem to get confused a lot these days.
