I just looked up William Smith. Good God, he did a lot with his life. Arm wrestling world champion, weight lifting champion, amateur boxer (31-1), martial artist, military veteran, bodybuilder, played semi-pro football, motocross, downhill skiing, masters degree, nearly a Ph.D, speaks at least 5 languages, great actor...and I'm sure there's lots more to this guy. Wow! Mad respect. He's 84 today, and I still wouldn't mess with him.

Bill Smith was a good friend of mine back in Venice beach in the mid 90’s through 2000’s when I moved to Vegas. He was everything everyone thought he was and more. The stories he told me were crazy. He loved to drink and have a good time. He had big hands and was nicknamed. The Burbank knuckle. Just a good person.

This is part of what Bill Smith is like... “Smith’s time in the Air Force gave him other opportunities to push his body to the extreme. He was a light-heavyweight boxing champion, a champion discus thrower at UCLA, 2-time 200-lbs world arm wrestling champion, once reverse curled 163 lbs and did 5,100 continuous sit-ups. Bill trained Kenpo with instructor Ed Parker and also has a Black Belt in Kung Fu.” His boxing record is 32 fights with 31 wins and 1 loss. If all that isn’t enough, he speaks 5 languages and has a Bachelor’s and a Masters. Not really sure who is around today worth looking up to.

The network wanted Smith for the role, but, producer, Jerry Thorpe, ultimately deemed him too muscular and menacing; training partner of first Mr. Olympia, Larry Scott; fought California wildfires in the early 1950s; worked as a lifeguard on the French Riviera; won the Light-Heavyweight German-Austrian Boxing Championship while in the service; was inducted into the Venice Muscle Beach Bodybuilding Hall of Fame 2010; graduated UCLA cum laude; etc. William Smith is pretty-much everything Steven Seagal 'claims' to be...except, Smith didn't marry a foreigner and leave the country to avoid the draft - then, divorce her and come back once the war was over! :D

RIP Mr. Smith. A truly gifted and talented individual in many respects. This scene is incredible. Smith enjoying watching Philo work and you can tell he's impressed with his friends skill/ability. Then, watch his expression change in a split second when the guy pulls the knife. Brilliant acting/timing. Then, he goes to work. However, what I loved about Smith's character is you can tell he's really very gentle and kind and doesn't actually like hurting people unless he has to. As he says to Clint in this scene. He comes across as a gentleman and you can see that there is genuine respect/warmth between the two characters. Smith adds those qualities to this character in such a way that you genuinely like him (even though he's supposed to be the 'bad guy'). That's impressive because, let's face it, with movies like this the bad guy doesn't get a lot to work with and they are often very 1 dimensional. To me that is what makes this performance so good.

Im blown away by this guy. I didnt know who he was, except e was Arny's dad in Conan, where he was PERFECT but could have easily been cast for a larger role. What a badass though. Makes all the other hollywood hardmen look like paper tigers.

Remember as a kid seeing William Smith in Rich Man Poor Man, to this day I've never seen menace or malevolence portrayed on the screen like he did in that mini-series, changed the whole dynamic of the show from the moment he appeared in the last two episodes and he did most of it with just a glare and his sheer intimidating presence. Probably the only time when I was young I was kept awake feeling genuinely disturbed by a character or something on tv that wasn't horror or supernatural related. I'm quite sure De Niro based his Cape Fear potrayal of Max Cady on Smith's Falconetti but even he went into parody such is the difficulty of sustaining that aura of pure malevolence on screen .
