I enjoyed his character in the movie "Miami Heat".
He had a gift for comedy.
He will be missed.
RIP, Mr. Fred.
I believe he made his movie debut with fellow Texan, Powers Booth, in the movie "Southern Comfort" around 1982 or so.

I recognise him from something, but I can't remember what.

Although I really did like him as Remo Williams (a glasses-wearing Joel Grey as Chuin - not so much!) my favorite role of Fred's was as Detective Lovecraft in " Cast a Deadly Spell." |

It was supposed to be a series of movies, but it didn't do quite well enough. It was based on a series of books that are quite fun reads. |

I had a roommate many years ago who had the entire collection (up to that point, anyway) who introduced me to the series. |

Wasn't that the one where the main character (Remo Williams) was trained in Korean martial arts? |

It wasn't a Korean martial art, it was Sinanju "the sun source of all martial arts." Yeah, they were a fun read. The ones around #40 were kind of a slog to get through, but overall Sapir & Murphy did well. I've not checked to see if they're still writing. I think the last one I read was #100. |

I've only read the first one. My son was into Kuk Sul Won. They claimed to be the original Marshal Art, I believe. Who really knows? Edit : They don't claim to be the original Martial Art, but that they take the best from all the martial arts. |

I wish they were available in audio books. |
