Charles Napier, star of the
Blues Brothers,
The silence Of The Lambs and
Philadelphia died yesterday at the age of 75.
Reports from at Bakersfield Memorial Hospital, California, do not mention his cause of death, but he had been taken to hospital in previous years over issues with ***** clots in his legs.
The much-loved tough guy character actor is perhaps best remembered for his role as Tucker McElroy in the
Blues Brothers and his immortal line, "You're gonna look pretty funny tryin' to eat corn on the cob with no fuckin' teeth!"
Also seen as general hawk in the first two
Austin Powers movies, he's appeared in everything from out-and-out comedy to more serious dramas.
Die hard fans will know him from roles in tv shows like Curb Your Enthusiasm, Diagnosis ******, and more recently, Archer, where he voiced the character of Dr. Spelts.
With a back catalogue many actors working today would be very jealous of, he's kept himself very busy indeed over the years, making his abrupt farewell all the more difficult.
He is survived by his two sons, Hunter and Whit, and his ********, Meghan. He will be sorely missed.
