Lugar y fecha de nacimiento. Ed Lauter (1940 - ) Actor Born: October 30, 1940, Long Beach, NY Prolific character actor of film and TV since the 1970s whose commanding glare, bald pate, lanky physique, and ramrod posture lend credibility to his often less-than-sympathetic portrayals of military brass, law men, and other men of authority. While most of his characters are fairly solemn, Lauter previously worked as a stand-up comic before turning into a professional tough guy. He works constantly and has amassed a huge number of credits in guest shots, TV movies, miniseries, and feature films, usually in supporting roles, in a variety of genres including Westerns THE MAGNIFICENT SEVEN RIDE (1972); THE WHITE BUFFALO (1977), thrillers Alfred Hitchcock's TRAMA MACABRA (1976), horror flicks CUJO (1983) and comedies EL GENIO (1985). Lauter's memorable feature roles include the captain of the prison guard football team in THE LONGEST YARD (1974), Tom Cruise's Vietnam commander in Oliver Stone's NACIDO EL 4 DE JULIO (1989), and the working-class Jewish father of Brendan Fraser in CODIGO DE HONOR (1992). On the small screen, Lauter was a corrupt sheriff on B.J. and the Bear and a no-nonsense general who becomes a renegade to combat the machinations of a secret government agency in Stephen King's Golden Years (CBS, 1991).
