Trivia:

Was originally cast to play Col. Sam Trautman in Rambo (1982), but walked out on the project. Douglas wanted substantial changes made to the script, specifically that John Rambo die at the hands of Trautman, like the character did in the novel. The writers held their ground and refused. Richard Crenna was eventually cast in the role. See more »

Trademark:

Frequently played manipulative, angry and often cruel leading characters that bordered on unsympathetic but were always compelling See more »
