Ed Lauter never out of character in film, on TV

Soon to be in 'Trouble With the Curve' with Clint Eastwood, the character actor may not have a recognizable name, but viewers know his face from four decades of films and TV shows.

You may not recognize the name, but few wouldn't recognize Ed Lauter's face. The tall, athletic character actor has been in a head-spinning number of movies and TV series over the last four decades. The 73-year-old has had television guest spots that go back to 1971's "Mannix," "Miami Vice" in the '80s, "The X-Files" in the '90s and, more currently, "Grey's Anatomy" and "Shameless." He's made an impression on the big screen too, appearing in Alfred Hitchcock's last film, 1976's "Family Plot," Robert Aldrich's 1974 football movie "The Longest Yard" (and its 2005 remake), "Seabiscuit" and "True Romance" among his many credits.
