Subject: Alex Karras, Former NFL Lineman, Actor, Dies At 77
Written By: warped on 10/10/12 at 12:05 pm
Alex Karras, the rugged lineman who anchored the Detroit Lions' defense in the 1960s, then went on to an acting career in which he starred in the sitcom "Webster" and famously punched a horse in the 1974 comedy "Blazing Saddles," died Wednesday. He was 77.
Karras, who had recently suffered kidney failure, died at home in Los Angeles surrounded by family members, said Craig Mitnick, Karras' attorney.

He was also in Against All Odds. Not a football fan, but I liked him as an actor.

I thought his best role was as Porky's brother, the cooked cop, in the Porky's trilogy. 8)

I don't know what it is about Porky's, so many of its cast members have passed away.
Chuck Mitchell (Porky)
Nancy Parsons (Beulah Balbricker)
Eric Christmas (Principal Carter)
Bill Hindman (Coach Goodenough)
Wyatt Knight (Tommy, the redneck who kept going back to Porky's)
John Henry Redwood (Conklin)
...are all gone now. And now Alex Karras. Makes you wonder. :-\\
