Rip Charles Napier

Charles Napier dead at 75.

Now really sure how many people will know who the hell Charles Napier was, but if you look at his filmography, I'm fairly sure you'll know his work.

 

The Blues Brothers

 

Since the 1960s, Mr. Napier was a staple on American TV shows. His credits include; Mannix, Hogan’s Heroes, Star Trek, Mission Impossible, Kojak, Baretta, The Rockford Files, Black Sheep Squadron, Starsky and Hutch, Knight Rider, The incredible Hulk, Chips, Simon & Simon, Dallas, The Dukes of Hazzard, The A-Team… to name a few.

 

He was also memorable in movies such as The Blues Brother, The Silence of the Lambs and Rambo: First Blood Part II.

 

RIP, Charles Napier.

Great character actor.

I knew I had seen the name before but couldn't place it until I saw his face. He was in so many different things over the years. I know on more than one occasion he would show up in something I was watching and I would say "Hey, it's that guy!"

 

Wonderful actor and always good whenever I saw him.

 

R.I.P. Mr. Napier.

This guy was in, like, everything when I was a kid.

 

RIP

He certainly had an eclectic body of work. Didn't realize that Trek's space hippie episode was his tv debut, though. That was unreal. RIP to one Good Old Boy.

This is too bad. A great career to be sure.

R.I.P. Charles Napier. A third one dies 10-6-11. They come in threes.

 

Not familiar with him myself, but nonetheless I acknowledge his loss from this world.

[Shem]

I've seen him in countless TV shows and movies. Very familiar with him. He usually likes to play the bad guy.

 

R.I.P.
