Fred Ward, a longtime Hollywood character actor who starred as an astronaut in 'The Right Stuff' and took on giant worms in 'Tremors,' has died at 79.
Born in San Diego, Ward's pre-acting jobs – including three years in the Air Force and stints as a short-order cook, boxer and lumberjack – prepared for the tough-guy roles he'd be recognized for in his Hollywood career.
In addition, Ward had a role as a studio security chief in Robert Altman's"The Player" and a TV anchor in Tim Robbins'"Bob Roberts" – both in 1992 – and was a terrorist planning to detonate a bomb at the Oscars in the 1994 spoof"The Naked Gun 33 1/3: The Final Insult."
