Police Academy actor Bubba Smith dies
Quote:
Bubba Smith, the American football star who found fame on screen playing Hightower in the Police Academy movies, has died at the age of 66.
The 6ft 7in (2m) star won the 1971 Super Bowl with the Baltimore Colts and moved into acting in the late 70s.
He played the softly-spoken Moses Hightower in six Police Academy films.

RIP Bubba. I first saw him in the TV series based on the Blue Thunder movie.

Re: Police Academy actor Bubba Smith dies
There was talk of another Police academy Film a year or two ago but i thought it would never go ahead. The Actor who played Tackleberry died a few years ago, the actor who plays Comendant Lasard is in his 90s and now this guy.
Still i do find the films funny.
