He was also in Swing Shift. Excellent movie. IMO very underrated.

He was also in The Naked Gun 33 1/3: The Final Insult which spoofed Escape From Alcatraz. He was so good
My earliest memory of Fred Ward was as a kid, seeing the VHS of Remo Williams: The Adventure Begins on shelves where he's hanging off The Statue of Liberty. I never saw that movie until years later though. First film I ever saw him in was Tremors in theatres, then I watched Big Business on VHS. He was one of the best character actors! R.I.P.
