Seems fitting that the Bears are playing tonight. No way they lose this game.

A fair actor, though he was typecast. I loved the Lite Beer commercials he and Bubba were in.

He was also in the TV series version of Blue Thunder:

When TV was great. here's the pitch: We turn that helicopter movie into a TV show with Bubba Smith, Dick Butkus and Dana Carvey as a guy named Clinton Wonderlove.

And even though it tanked, it scared NBC so bad there execs said, "We need our own helicopter show! And a talking car! And a super-powered motorcycle! Make it happen!"
