Damn! Fred Ward has died. He was such a talented actor.

Fred was 79.

Most people probably remember as Earl Bass him in the movie 'Tremors' but I always remember him for his portrayal of Jack Milton in the movie 'Thunderheart'.

He usually played such bad ass characters, you rarely saw him smile. SO that's why I chose this photo.
