He was Sheriff John Sebastian Cain on BJ and the Bear and the Misadventures of Sheriff Lobo.

"You know what Gordie Howe got as a signing bonus? A team jacket!"

"Lousy agent."

"Crewe!"

RIP. Loved him in The Longest Yard. Gave dimension to his character and didn't make a bad guy seem all that bad.

I looked up his IMDB list. He had 203 credits over 43 years. Amazing.

RIP
