Yeah, he seems very reasonable to have been from Hollyweird. One of the great character actors of all time, he could play good guy, bad guy, and in between.

He also played some cranky rancher on “Dallas”.

The way prisons pander and coddle the inmates now days sucks. They should go back to the good old days when being in prison was as bad as what Cool Hand Luke went thru.

Kennedy was also great playing opposite John Wayne in Cahill, U.S. Marshall where he coerced the marshal's boys into robbing a bank.

That’s right. Forgot that one. “It was a friendly fight.” “Never been in one of those.”

Don’t worry, someone can probably photoshop it!

Oh, man... He lived here in Boise? Damn, I should have invited him over a couple of weeks ago for the Naked Gun marathon I had.
