Swift Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 Holy shit. I just watched Death Wish 3 the other day and it was awful. Bronson was awful, and the guy playing the cop was especially terrible to the point where I had to look him up on IMDB to make sure he was actually an actor, and not just some ex-cop who worked on the movie. Turns out his name was Ed Lauter and he had quite the career. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stiffshots Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 I remember marking out when I realized both Lauter and quintessential "hey it's that guy" actor Dick Miller were part of the JFK hit squad in EXECUTIVE ACTION. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EricR Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 Lauter was one of my favorites, one of the guys I would seek out and watch in anything he appeared in. His little role in Hitchcock's Family Plot was probably my favorite, but even as recently as a year or so ago (playing a crotchety old company owner on an episode of The Office he was still bringing the goods.
