#RIP, #PaulOrndorff, #WilliamSmith, #CharlieRobinson
William Smith's epic fight scene with Clint Eastwood in Any Which Way You Can is legendary!
He had another one, which went REAL. Director let it roll. Darker Than Amber, I think.
With Taylor on the set. They have it mentioned on his Wikipedia page
I believe he was fluent in several languages as well. I remember him in Kung Fu episode with David Carridine.
William Smith, Military badass, secret clearances, spoke several European language's, flew secret military missions, college educated, martial artist, body builder, starred in over 250 movies in a career over 70 years. Talk about living a "Full" life. I am humbled.
I thought it was the BIG BRAWL
Mr Wonderful the glory days of wrestling. Condolences to all
He was a legit tough guy
I'll always remember William Smith as Falconetti in Rich Man, Poor Man...
Had a part in a Columbo episode.
His movie appearances are numerous. Always the tough guy with a soft heart.
I do too!
Everytime my dad called him Falconetti.
Oh yeah!!! Antney Falconetti. Corsican.
Incredible and so sad. Charlie brought us lots of laughs and great Memories from the "Night Court" era and Paul Androf from WWE. I grew up watching these guy's and are a wonderful part of my childhood. Its really sad to know of their passing as well as everyone else that was mentioned in this video. My condolences to ALL their Friend's and Family. May they R.I.P. They are gone but will never be forgotten. I appreciate the video and though it's sad news, I Thank You for the update, I did not know of their passing. GOD BLESS THEM AND THEIR FAMILIES AS WELL!
🙏🏼🙏🏼😢🙏🏼🙏🏼
Who's Paul Androf?
Grammar police
Wow did not hear about William Smiths death. Great actor RIP.
I was just thinking about him the other day on Laredo
@@dougcampbell8531 Laredo? He IS Conan's father!
Sure was ! fun fact ...
He was a child actor and was in..
FRANKENSTEIN with BORIS KARLOFF !
I NEVER KNEW TILL "SVENGOOLY"
WENT OVER THE ACTORS IN HIS SATURDAY NIGHT HORROR PICTURE REVIEW OF THE ACTORS IN THAT NIGHTS FEATURE MOVIE !
HE WAS A STOCKY LIL KID .
Red Dawn tough guy.
one of my all time favorites with William Smith is the Frisco kid. he was such a good bad guy.....villian.
My earliest memory of William Smith was in the biker movie "CC and Company" with Joe Namath and Ann Margaret. I also loved to watch him on episodes of "Gunsmoke" and everything that came after. He was one of the greatest bad guys in movies and television that you love to watch.
He also was part of the five o team in the last season of Hawaii Five-O.
Amen......
He was also in the western series Laredo, my favorite.
Loved him!!
He was in that episode of Kolchak: The Night Stalker where there was some gigantic creature living under a hospital on the shores of Lake Michigan; also he played a Soviet Colonel hunting the Wolverines in Red Dawn.
Charlie, from night court, Mack... RIP ur 4ever in my heart loves & prayers, Charlie❤❤❤🙏🙏🙏😔💔✝️🌈
Charles Robinson had a really great sense of Humor on Night Court and in many other movies! Rest In Peace! 🤗
Mac was the glue that kept the courtroom together.
Agree, and he just seemed like a genuinely good person. I would have enjoyed being friends with him.
Charlie Robinson was on the show mom as the blind neighbor
He was a class act kind of guy, it’s weird to see people passing away that I grew up with.
I'll never forget him as "Nate" in Set It Off, he had a thing for Stony, Jada Pinkett Smith's character. He was her sugar daddy fling, it was so funny. May he rest in peace.
Orndoff and Smith...
Heaven needing it's enforcers.
Love em both.
Now safe at home.
Both sadden me greatly. Straight talking, hard assed, yet gracious guys.
RIP to all who have died.....
Henry Parham passed July 4. The man died on America's birthday, couldn't have been a better day for a true American hero to go home.
R.I.P WARRIOR!!
I remember William Smith from Laredo and Hawaii 5 0. Loved any role he played. Always a comfort too see him, you just knew it was going to be good! Will miss you Bill.
He always played bad guys LOL
He played a detective on Hawaii 5 0 in its 12th season. And a Texas Ranger on Laredo. He did not always play a bad guy. Do your homework lavern.
one of the best at playin bad guys....Frisco kid.....very good villain.
@@nancymarek8633 Bill portrayed quite a few Native American Roles.
Mr. Smith was a true Renaissance man. Worth a visit to his Wikipedia page.
William Smith one of my favorite actors best tuff guy actor ever 🙏 RIP
Geez I did not know...great actor
He passed away on my birthday
@@Locktwiste72 yes the 5th I believe happy belated b day
Liked his work RIP
His fight with Eastwood was awesome in that day
Rest now Jeff Labar 🙏 You gave us so much, not only with your amazing guitar playing but also with your humble spirit. You'll be missed so much 😥.💗
RIP William Smith....... Last week I was watching a preview of the movie with Clint Eastwood and I was able to find the part where they had a bar fight scene, I enjoy these movies with Clint and Smith was a very lovely person, great ctor and in that movie anyway I loved his character and his performance.
He was on Kung Fu...rich man poor man movie
Thank you for honoring those who served in our Armed Forces by noting their service.
(2:51) Smith was not without a sense of humor, and he occasionally would spoof his bad guy persona. In one of the Roger Corman bike films, for example, he has some terrified guy up against the wall, and the 'second biker' comes in, saying, "Snake, Snake..gotta talk to ya about something.." Smith turns around and says, "Can't you see I'm busy menacing somebody?" The audience roared. What a dude. RIP big guy...
Charlie Robinson aka Mac was one of my favorite actors. He played a really wild character in the movie Set It Off but ill always remember him as the awesome court clerk Mac and the blind man on Mom. Rest easy Mac!!!
Mac was the only one who could stop a raging Bull without even as much as raising his voice. Bull would be on a path of destruction, and Mac would give him one of his soft-spoken phrases, and Bull would stop in his tracks and do his "what have I done?" slap on top of his head.
@@andregraves3825 that show is classic
The first time I saw William Smith was in Combat as a German Wehrmacht Feldweber or Sergeant against Vic Morrow's squad.
BLESS ..ALL THEIR HEARTS..BIG WILLIAM SMITH WAS ALL OVER TV AND THE BIG SCREEN..BIG WILLIAM COULD PLAY THE GODD GUY OR VILLAIN..MY PERSONAL FAVORITE OF HIS..RUN.ANGEL.RUN.69..IN THIS ROLE..BIG WILLIAM PLAY A TOUGH GOOD BIKER...
WOW!! I didn't know about Paul " Mr. Wonderful " Orndorf!! Another of the Great ones!! 🙏⚰🙏 RIP!!
William Smith should have been up there with Charles Bronson, he was one hell of a good bad guy! Somehow he missed the train to stardom, dam it this is one shitty world when a guy like Big Bill never really made it. I was thinkin' of goin' to hell when I kick the bucket because heaven wouldn't much fun...but I sure as hell ain't goin' down below and maybe gettin' my ass kicked by Bill Smith!
I've often said that in real life "Big Bill" probably could've cleaned both Nick Nolte's and Clint Eastwood's clocks--at the same time. One of the most remarkable people I've ever read about.
R I P Mr. Wonderful as well as Chick Vennera. You will be sorely missed beyond words. See you in the next lifetime.
And also Robby Steinhardt
Mac: Hey Your Honor, Selma, and Flo, Guess who'se home!
Harry Stone: Hi Mac, I was wondering when You would get here.
Cant forget Paula Kelly aka Liz although she was on before Mac
Still watch that show on rerun tv
I had a chance encounter with William Smith in Santa Monica, Ca. He was very humble and gracious to me and gave me an autographed photo of himself. I'll always remember him as 'Falconetti' in the mini-series ''Rich Man, Poor Man''.
Would absolutely love to have met him. So sad he has gone. His Falconetti performance was so good. I have never hated a screen villain as much.
A fitting father to Conan the Barbarian...
When I was a kid, watching William Smith play the bad guy was terrifying for me! Years later, I was able to appreciate his body of work, his intelligence and his wit. RIP
I remember William Smith in an episode of CHiPs. He played a paramedic and drove squad 51. A show biz truck re-purposed I guess...
Wow! These people where wonderful in memory. William W Smith in such things as Hammer and the Original Hawaii Five-O in the later seasons. Charles Robinson in not just Night Court but blaxploitation films also in the 1970's.
William Smith played the store owner who shot and killed Dallas Winston in the Outsiders.
He shot him first, but the cops actually killed him after he left and called Darryl to come get him.
👍 THANKS for that info/reminder on the "the Outsiders" role of big BAD william (Billy) Smith! Lol....He went from disgruntled store owner (when Dillon was robbin him) to the NEXT level "I'm sooo SICK of YOU punkazz kids....Take it and GET OUT!!" ......Bang Bang!! Man, I LOVE THAT MOVIE and MOST the characters in it! ......🙏👍
@@paulmurphy5244 I DT Dalley was shot at ALL by the storekeeper...As he was quite a ways away and runnin and it wasn't UNTIL he wouldn't stop running and then FINALLY, pulling the gun on the cops that is when Dallas Winston met his demise. Pretty sure that's what happened....🤔 I've seen it million times but honestly? It HAS BEEN a minute since LAST seeing the movie. 👍 Dally is All "I'm allowed anywhere I want...😆😔😠" in the hospital....Dane, I LOVE THAT movie. SUCH great acting, perfect character casts 😏 Even back then, ya got the "shorter" TOM CRUISE, ALL wild runnin around doing backflips off the 50 Chevy p.u. hood and just goin "Whooooo!" like a man mixed BANSHEE! 😆 LOL.....SMH LOVE THAT MOVIE.....
@@jamescon55 Ya, it's a great movie! One of Coppola's best!
And Smith was also great in "Any which way you can" with Clint!
Part one and two! Classics!!!
"Right turn Clyde!!" 😜
William Smith had an amazing life. He was so much more than an accomplished actor. Heaven is a better place today because he is there.
Indeed he was. They could make a separate video on just his life. He was fluent in 5 different languages, particularly Russian. So good in fact that in addition to flying secret missions over Russia, he served as a Russian intercept interrogator. He held both CIA and NSA security clearances and was recruited to be an interpreter for NATO. In the film "Red Dawn" he plays a Russian Colonel who was brought in to beef up the moral of the Russian troops in occupied US. He delivered a long, rousing speech to the troops in perfect Russian. He was a lifelong body builder who held many titles - particularly for his incredible arms. (Greatest guns in the West?) In his later years he became a photographer and a poet. (Even having a book of poetry published in 2009). We all know he played a great bad guy - but some of my favorite scenes were on Laredo, when Shelley Morrison would appear as his love-sick, stone-faced girlfriend - Linda Little Trees. Hysterical!
@@mamiebobb4173 Red Dawn is one of my favorite movies from the '80s. I had no idea that William Smith was in it. The cast had a lot of current and future stars. Director John Milius did a masterful job telling an all too realistic story that could have easily been reality. I'll definitely be watching this again, looking for William Smith. IMO he looked amazingly like Tom Skerritt who, ironically, was also a Russian operative in Red Dawn. His role as "Jack Wilson" in "Any which way you can " gave Clint Eastwood a run for his money. I remember this one very well. I checked out his resume on IDMB. Incredible resume of work. What a talented person in life. To be able to speak 5 languages is indeed admirable. Thanks for bringing his role in Red Dawn to my attention. Cheers to the life of William Smith.
@@mamiebobb4173 Oh yes.His reaction to Linda!The time she nearly married him,no sympathy from the others at all-"But Captain,last time we met she tried to marry me!"I don't think those were the actual lines,but close.Wish I could've stayed in touch with Joanne & himself.RIP Joe.Reunited with Reese,Chad & the rest.
If he made it. He did shoot miss kitty in the back ya know. 🤕
Well said, fitting words for the Gentleman...
Grew up watching him on " Laredo " as Texas ranger very cool...bill smith
Me too. Great show.
I agree. I enjoy watching actors who usually play big, bad villains portray good guys.
Love thats show.
Bill?
@@dubuyajay9964,,,,, yes,William or Bill smith ,check it out if u ok with westerns cool show
An empty place here on earth, but a happy room in heaven for these wonderful people who passed on. May all R.I.P.
RIP 🌹 ❤ GOD'S GRACE AND MERCY TO US ALL.
I just watched an episode of Laredo today and still thinking just how handsome he was. Then I just saw this. I didn't know until now that he had passed. Now all of the stars of Laredo are gone. RIP Misters Brand, Carey, Brown and Smith.
Remember him with Little Trees?So funny.And how mad did Blue Duck get?
RIP to all these greats but I just heard that another larger than life star passed too soon…. RIP Biz Markie… 😰
What! I didnt know that
Yeh that one hurts😟😟
I made my first video (just a friend). That video was terrible 😄😄😄 I think I was 13-14😁😁 I was wearing a freddy Kruger sweater 🤪🤪I was a mess 😄
Hi. So Sad too young to die. Biz Markie
Rip to all these wonderful people that we have lost this week and praying for there families and their fans. As continuing to pray for the families that have lost love ones in all this tragic events around the world and in Florida.
Praying 🙏
Well said.
I remember William...what a guy 👍😁 He will be remembered 💜 RIP Will 🙏😁
William Smith. Wat a gd looking grt villan was so gd in rich man poor man enjoyed that series so much. So many yrs ago. Seems like a lifetime ago
With William Smith great acting love him on Laredo but why was there no mention of the all the languages that he could speak and write fluently also he was a undercover person in military and the only reason that I ended up leaving it was that he married I believe if I'm right his wife is Russian and because of that he could no longer be in the part of the service that he had been in Justin was a very accomplished person not Justin is acting good in his all-around life not to mention just being a good old guy may he rest in peace
You could b right Wendy,but when I was in touch with them,he was married to Joanne Cevelli which sounds more Italian than Russian.
@@susanmccormick6022 it's been so long since I had read an article years ago on him about all the other stuff so but yeah it could be that she was not rushing but you know some other nationality I just think it kind of sucked that yo because he married somebody that wasn't quote American that you know he had to leave the Secret Service but I guess that's the way the ball bounces sometimes
@@wendyhaase4401 Got it in one.Stay safe honey.
RIP Mr Smith..Had a few drinks with him in Playa del Rey,Ca. in the early 80's.A nice,funny drunk.Exceptional talent.
Just weird how you grow up with this stuff. You make it a part of you, then it’s gone.
Means we’re getting older…
That’s weird, I was just watching “Red Dawn” last night and was unaware that Will Smith had died. He played a Russian commander in that movie. Then today I see this post informing us that he had died. RIP.
I just saw him on Beyond Belief a week ago
Great performance in Red Dawn. He did quite a few war movies.
William Smith
I didn't know he played in westerns
I've never been to much of a TV watcher🤷♀️
I just recently started watching Laredo and there he is.
I saw him the first time as Falcon Eddie
on
Rich Man Poor Man
then on
Any Which Way You Can (love that movie)
R.I.P William 😔💐
i didn't know he served in the korean war. the other people who die in their sleep, i think that is a blessing. i hope it is and they felt no fear or pain. maybe it was even a happy way to go. God rest their souls in Jesus' name, Amen.
Check Smith in the pilot episode (on RUclips) of Rockford. Bathroom fight scene and his face twitching / psycho schtick magnificent.
He played in MANY EPISODES OF DIFFERENT WESTERNS . BUT...
THATS NOT AS CRAZY AS... HE WAS A CHILD ACTOR.. AND PLAYED IN...
FRANKENSTEIN WITH BORIS KARLOFF !! HE WAS A STOCKY LIL BOY TOO.
Falconetti 😅
@@jennyo9120 😆 thank you, for all these years for whatever reason I thought his name was Falcon Eddie 🙂 🙋♀️
Sad to hear about William Smith, remember him very well from the movie "Run angel run"
Nobody has mentioned this, so I will, Bill Smith was in "Darker than Amber" with Rod Taylor as Travis McGee, the detective and Bill as a blond psycho killer. They eventually came in contact in a hotel room fight. Taylor said that the fight went from acting to for real when somebody hit somebody TOO hard. Taylor came out of the fight clothes ripped up, both were bloody and Taylor said it was the most VICIOUS acting fight he'd ever been in., in reality or acting. If you can find a copy of "Darker than Amber" you can see the fight.
@@stevenkahn4060 My cat is famous!She is Amber Springboard but she's a dark tortie.
@@susanmccormick6022 :BAHAHAHA.. 🤣
William Smith one of my favorite bad boy actor. Rich man poor man and good cop in Hawaii five o
Hi. William Smith was a Great Actor and American. Serving our Country.
Surprised me after watching his fight with Eastwood, to also recognize him as the Soviet commander who marches into town in the 2nd half of Red Dawn as well as the store clerk who informed Matt Dillon he had to "PAY for that magazine" in the Outsiders.
I remember Mr. Smith from the final season of Hawaii Five-O in 1980. Tough dude. 😌
He has a fascinating bio...advanced degrees, fluent in Russian (Red Dawn)
Hi As a Kid I remember his Arms. He was also so Cool.
Really upset as I have just learned one of my fav guys has passed.William Smith,the last Larado survivor.I hope Joanne Cevelli is as ok as can be expected,under the circumstances.Until some ....messed up my email address,I was in touch with them & Paul Peterson.I have no idea how to get back in touch with Paul & even though I created another email I have been unable to order things from Amazon either.If anybody reading this has any suggestions,I would b obliged.
RIP William Smith, my first memory of him was Laredo when I was a kid.
I to grew up watching William Smith on Laredo the best of the show and good with Clint Eastwood
He was a very educated person as well
Yes, I remember him from that show too. RIP 🕯🎭
Me too
Falcon Eddy
Thanks for sharing this ! A big salute to all the veterans of our wars.! They gave all so we can be free... ! And to all the others - RIP !!
RIP Henry Parham. William Smith. Great actor. Charlie Robinson...Night Court. So talented. Surfside victims. Heartbreaking.
RIP Biz Markie. Another legend gone.
🔥 Vapors 🔥
Just a friend
💕💕💕💕💕😢
Legend?I
Please.
WW2 Henry Parham, thank you for your service. Rest In Peace one of America’s heroes. Sad that you fought for a country that didn’t recognize you as an equal. My father landed on Utah Beach. He would’ve been honored to hit the beach with you. He only looked at the man not his color and he taught me the same.
🙄... RIP TOO THEM MY FRIEND.
Big William Smith fan. From Laredo, to Falcon Eddy, to Red Dawn, to Conan’s father lecturing him on the Riddle of Steel and more. RIP as time eventually takes us all
Any which way you can for me
Any which way you can for me
William was a criminally underated actor, he spoke 3 languages fluently, was an amateur boxer in his youth, and was for a short time going to be recruited to work for the C.I.A. a true legend in every sense of the word
Who is Falcon Eddy ? Stunt bike rider ?
Oh know I just found out
May they all rest in peace 🙏
William Smith was great at playing the bad guy for adults as well as for kids, his performance in Buck Rogers as the Trebor demonstrates how you can be menacing and fun at the same time.
Good how the service of each person is mentioned. Not just celebrities.
RIP Jeff LaBar. I never thought that I would be shocked by celebrity's death. "Long Cold Winter" is the best Cinderella album.
Too much partying killed him. He said alcohol, cocaine in the 80’s heroine in the 90’s.
Loved William Smith's appearance on The Rockford Files. Jim spreads soap of the floor of the strip club bathroom floor, and proceeds to beat him up, is wonderful! William Smith's character drives a bright red Eldorado and yet tries to surreptitiously tail Jim with hilarious results.
That scene had to be shot a few times and in one of the takes William broke his wrist.No biggie for him.Just put on an oversize watchband and back to the races.Tough guy to the extreme.RIP William!
Smith shot miss kitty in the back, some things I just can't forgive. 🥺
Rip Mr. Charles Robinson. Your acting carrier was a very funny and inspiruing life to the fullest. God bless my man.✝️🌹🌹🌹🇺🇸☮️
Charles Robinson Rest in Power 🥀🥀🥀
William Smith was a grest actor during my childhood. He played on a lot of shows.
Rest easy to all of those who have moved on across the earth.
Charlie Robinson. He looks like my Dad. Another man who I wish would’ve hung around a few more years.
RIP William Smith 😢 I had no idea he passed away. Always enjoyed his roles. He was brilliant as Falconetti !!!
Loved watching William Smith in Laredo
Falcon Eddie flies I always loved him great actor he could make audiences hiss William Smith rip 🙏
Who is Falcon Eddy ??
@@spanishpeaches2930 I think it's Falconetti from Rich Man Poor Man.
@@fredhall6525 I know. I was being sarky.
God bless Robisn I will always remember you from night court
Nothing about Robby Steinhardt's passing? A founding member and violinist for the rock band Kansas?
You need to see week 3
Our family remembers Smith. We were glued to the TV during Rich Man, Poor Man when I was a kid! I will particularly miss Robinson! Loved Night Court!!
Genuine tough man RIP
Rest in heaven to all of those lost. 🌺
William Smith was a monster and a badass.
Oh shit Mac died!. RIP to everyone we lost this year.
William Smith was almost cast as Caine in "KUNG FU "
RIP
He played in an episode of Kung Fu he fought cain with a giant chain
@@tomg6318 "To Kill a Hero" me and my brother actually laughed when he said that
What ??! Wow , love William...
Buuut... NO ! I'm glad they chose David .
Thanks for the info .
Check out FRANKENSTEIN WITH BORIS KARLOFF... WILLIAM WAS A CHILD ACTOR IN THAT MOVIE .
HE WAS A STOCKY LIL BOY .
Bruce Lee's role but he was sacrificed.
Wow, gutted for William Smith, only watched him in Eye of the Tiger last week, great actor will be missed. 😢
Sadly we can't put a broken heart or a Sad symbol up on these videos. And sadly July 2021 is not over yet. Thanks for sharing your video. July 18, 2021
Thank you for remembering those lost in the flooding in Germany and Belgium. I live in southern tip of The Netherlands, just 10 minutes from both borders. I am, fortunately, situated on a high point. Many will not be found until flood waters recede, and others may not be found at all.
I first saw William Smith on Laredo he was a hottie in his leathers that he wore on the show!!!!
THAT'S where I remember him!
Funny how first impressions imprint our lives for years to follow. That's part of the allure. I've had my share.
RIP everyone. Death is the worst part of life`s cycle. Thank you Paul Orndorff. You are one of my favorite all time performers in the wrestling business. You are already missed. Very nice video. Thank you.
RiP William Smith! You did it all! Joe Riley 👍
FROM A CHILD ACTOR IN FRANKENSTEIN WITH BORIS KARLOFF..
TO NUMEROUS WESTERNERS ...
BIKER MOVIES, CONAN'S FATHER...
AND SO MUCH MORE !! 😊... 🙄I'LL MISS THAT MAN . RIP SIR , YOU WILL BE MISSED .
A truly great and underrated actor, a very successful and educated man in all areas. Thanks for the enjoyment, RIP Bill.
William Smith had my heart from the first time I saw him.
Thank you for including the victims of the condo collapse as well as the flood victims. They might not be famous like the others but in their way the were famous to their many friends and families. CMH
Willie Smith was a bad ass! RIP Jeff LaBar. You were my age brother. Rock on dude. Loved you in Cinderella. 80’s metal 🤟🤟🤙
Seen them open for and blow Bon Jovi off the stage in 86 Buffalo.
Big Bill Smith; Aho, brother.
😞Mr. Wonderful
He’s up there with Hot Rod now.
I used to confuse them.
@@bocoxgurl they’ll never be another of them both.
May they all rest in peace 🙏 great video thanks 🖤
Farewell William Smith watched him in numerous roles, but Wildside was a favorite. And Mr. Robinson was a favorite on Night Court. Paul Orndorff....just wow. Makes me realize how old I'M getting. God bless the lost in Surfside...That NEVER SHOULD HAVE HAPPENED!
mr. Smith was one of my favorite actors going up in the sixties I wonder if he know he had fans in the minorities to his family my condolences.✝
I most remember William Smith from the episode in the Rockford files and kung fu
No! Mack, Tough guy from Any Which Way Can, and Mr. Wonderful!!!!!!!!!!
i didn't watch that. i saw thunderbolt and lightfoot. jeff bridges and clint eastwood were great together, but noodles i think his name was, he was a close friend of clint eastwood's. he was in 'any which way you can' (i hope he was or my memory is more screwed than i thought. there were some funny moments in 'thunderbolt and lightfoot' like the crazy guy who had the exhaust pipe filling the car with C02 and all those rabbits in the trunk. plus the car had that issue where its backside was up in the air. the only thing not funny was the very end. also one scene clint bitch slapped noodles and it was kind of funny. they were friends irl though.lmao and the whisteling drive by during the scene clint and bridges bought ice cream together off a truck. that probably was unscripted
@@lapacesiaconvoi , wow, you have a great memory! I didn't know all that. Thanks. He was a fine actor.
William Smith , who in my opinion was one who should have gotten more big roles , and Paul Orndorff , who was one of the best at his craft in the best era and couldn’t be ruined by WWF , are my two favorites from my childhood .
I grew up watching Mr. Smith in many cool roles on great tv shows and movies. May he R.I.P.
Thank God we have You Tube.
@@henrymartinez4030 I heard somewhere before Smith was also a bodybuilder .
I remember the FIRST time Paul Orndorff betrayed Hulk Hogan. What a great story angle that was. As a kid that really exemplified the difference between good, bad, and betrayal. That storyline achieved what it set out to do. Great memories. Rest in peace to all of these people.
My memories of William Smith are of the many episodes of CHIPS he starred in. He could go from a villain to a good guy, he was versatile. And, yes he will be missed!!
Rest In Peace everyone.
Falconetti passed away
I always thought his name was "Falcon Eddie" on "Rich Man, Poor Man" back in the mid 70s..Goodness he was a mean character..
R I.P. to everyone mentioned.
RIP William Smith , superb tough guy actor ,
Awesome role in “ Any which way you can”, Rich man , poor man , with Nick Nolte , and alongside Yul Brynner in “ The Ultimate Warrior , with Max Von Sydow ...
Thank you Mr.Partham they were our greatest generation.Poor Mrs. Avery. She truly was in denial Forgot to teach her son “ Two wrongs don’t make a right”.Her son will have a place in hell. This is definitely the best channel of this type. Giving background really helps to remember these people.
God Rest their souls are there will never be forgotten.
These videos are always so sad. My childhood heroes dying every month, it seems.
Always enjoyed William smith.
