Day after Friday the 13th: Saturday Night OT and RIP Fred Ward

 


Fred (Ward) & Whoopi (Goldberg) in The Player

 

I’m sure the BT film aficionados here have better précis of their favorite Fred Ward roles but I always loved him as the studio detective in The Player.

He’d been around a looooong time, he’d seen all the trash, he knew who did it and … he knew the investigators were probably never going to have enough evidence to convict against that mountain of privilege Tim Robbins played as a studio exec … but w/in the confines of what he had to do to keep his own job, he was going to try his damndest anyway.

 

Two points.

Great shot.


ETA:  Want to also give prayers up to the community of Buffalo, hope the D.A. and the US Attorneys are planning to prosecute to the fullest extent of the law, and ask everybody to check in in fervent hopes none have been physically harmed
