'Police Academy' actor and NFL star Charles 'Bubba' Smith dies
Former NFL star and movie actor Charles Aaron "Bubba" Smith has died, the Los Angeles Coroner's Chief of Forensic Examinations said.
Smith spent nine seasons in the NFL as a defensive end in the '60s and '70s. He's perhaps best known for his role as Moses Hightower in the "Police Academy" movies.
Police and fire officials were called to Smith's Baldwin Hils house after "he was found unresponsive," and pronounced him dead, said Ed Winter, assistant chief of operations and investigation for the coroner. The body will be taken to the coroner's office, where an autopsy will be performed to determine cause of death, Winter said.

He will be sorely missed. I send my regards to his family after this tragic news.
R.I.P Charles "Bubba" Smith.
Very sad, he seemed like a very nice man. God Bless him and his family during this time. RIP big guy!
I knew little more of Bubba then his roles in Police Academy as Moses Hightower but he was entertaining and you could sense through his presence that he was a good man. He was taken too early from this world I am sorry to say and will be missed by those he touched. May he rest in peace and prayers for his family.
Bubba Smith was one of the all time greats of football and will always be remembered.
RIP Bubba. My 2 favorite things have lost a legend, Football and Police Academy.
oh man not Officer Hightower, RIP
He was multi talented. How old was he?
I will miss passing Peggy to and fro with him.. The knee was not down!
FYI – You wrote your comment twice but they already removed the other guys nasty, mean comment that you were referring to.
Damn. Will miss you Bubba. R.I.P.
Goodbye, Bubba. Hope your next life is as beautiful as this one was. Thanks for the entertainment you gave us.
R.I.P Bubba you were a great football player and I admired your power on that Ram front 4. Sorry to your family may God bless them .....

Bubba played for the Colts and then the Raiders and finally the Oilers at the end.

Sometimes one must appear wrong to do what is right when so many others do what is wrong in the name of righteousness.. That is all for today.
