Charles Napier
Biography
Date of Birth 12 April 1936, Scottsville, Kentucky, USA Height 6' (1.83 m) Mini Biography Lively character actor who usually plays hard-ass military types and menacing bad guys. Charles Napier's roles have changed little since his debut in Russ Meyer's Cherry, Harry & Raquel! (1970). Napier went on appearing in other Meyer movies, including the homicidal Harry Sledge in Supervixens (1975) and also became a regular playing smaller roles for Jonathan Demme. His granite-like jaw and wide, gate-like grin have contributed to his many memorable portrayals of tough guys, notably the scheming intelligence officer up against Sylvester Stallone in Rambo: First Blood Part II (1985) and the short-tempered front man of the Good Ole Boys in The Blues Brothers (1980), where he delivers the masterful 'corn on the cob' line. IMDb Mini Biography By: Warren Hawkes Spouse Dee (? - present) Trivia Has appeared in most films by director Jonathan Demme Son of 'Liones Napier' Roger Ebert often refers to him as "that character actor with a smile like Jaws". Appeared on "Dr. Phil" (2002) with his wife to discuss his obsession with being famous. Played in two Kentucky high school state basketball championships Served with the 11th Airborne Worked as an "on the road" correspondent for the trucker magazine "Overdrive" in the early 70s. His role in Walter Hill's Hard Times (1975) was cut from the final print. Provided the growls for TV's "The Incredible Hulk" (1978). Was in 2 Star Trek series as diametrically opposed characters: the Star Trek (original series) episode "The Way To Eden" as the Eden-seeking hippie "Adam" and in Star Trek DS9 episode "Little Green Men" as no-nonsense "General Denning" at Area 51 who interrogates the Ferengi Quark, Rom and Nog. Appeared in four Russ Meyer movies: Cherry, Harry & Raquel! (1970) (in which he went full frontal), Beyond the Valley of the Dolls (1970) and The Seven Minutes (1971) (in which he kept his clothes on), and Supervixens (1975) (in which he used a humongous rubber phallus as a "stand-in". Napier starred in one of the first widely shown films to contain full frontal male nudity: Cherry, Harry & Raquel! (1970). It was such an event that "Variety", the Bible of Hollywood trade papers, contacted Napier's mother to find out her reaction to her son appearing in what was known in the exploitation industry as a "pickle shot."
