Jet_Engine1 Posted May 14, 2022 Share Posted May 14, 2022 Great character actor. I'll always see him in his role from The Greatest Movie Ever Made as Astronaut Gus Grissom... be careful, Gus might have a few corrections for you when you meet him... Godspeed, Fred. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Right Stuff was one of the best books I ever read. The movie was wonderful, too. Fred Ward was also touched by the Creator for being cast in the role of Henry Miller in Henry & June. I mean finding yourself in a in a Uma Thurman-Maria de Medeiros sandwich? And getting paid for it? Very hot scene and great flick. RIP, Fred Ward. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RutgersJetFan Posted May 15, 2022 Share Posted May 15, 2022 It’s really weird because I love The Right Stuff but he’s always Earl from Tremors to me. 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustInFudge Posted May 15, 2022 Share Posted May 15, 2022 RIP - Fred Ward. Personally, I will always remember him as Remo Williams. I absolutely loved the movie grow up. It was epic. And lets be real, American Ninja warrior never happens if it werent for Remo Williams. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also was good in Alcatraz. Just a great working actor, who consistently worked for 40 years. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
