Alex Karras passed away today at the age of 77 after kidney failure. He was most famous for being a professional football player in the 60's, playing Mongo in Blazing Saddles, and playing Webster's dad in Webster.

I'll miss him. He was the only person on TV when I was a kid that looked like me.

May he rest in peace, and comforting hugs to his family and friends.

Never knew he was Mongo, but he left a lasting impression on me as Squash, the bodyguard to James Garner's King Marchand in Victor/Victoria.

King Marchand: But, you were all-American! I never saw a rougher, tougher, meaner, sonofabitch football player in all my life.
'Squash' Bernstein: Boss, if you didn't want the guys to call you queer, you became a rough tough sonofabitchin' football player.


One of the best lines from the movie.
