William Smith
« on: July 10, 2021, 03:31:16 AM »
 Has passed away :( He stared in many movies and tv shows over the years and was great at playing bad guys. Back in the mid 60's one of my favorite westerns" Laredo" he  played a Texas ranger along with Peter Brown and Neville Brand. In the 70's in played Falconetti one of the best villains ever in Rich Man Poor Man. In the 80's he was in Any Which Way You Can with Clint Eastwood and they had a great fight scene. He also served in the Navy, was a bodybuilder, boxer and champion arm wrestler. I consider him and also Clint Walker and Charles Bronson not just actors but real life bad asses. Thanks for the memories Mr. Smith. RIP.

Did he really played Falconetti? Not as himself?
That character was a real tough and evil guy!
I saw him in a biker movie too, C.C. & Company from 1970. But I saw it 1979.

When I saw him in other movies I said: look Falconetti!! ;)
