Sonny Landham, the muscular action-movie actor who co-starred in 'Predator' and '48 Hrs' passes away at the age of 76.
Landham's sister, Dawn Boehler, said the actor lost his life due to congestive heart failure on Thursday at Lexington, Kentucky, hospital. Landham was a brawny, deep-voiced actor and stunt man who played a bit part in Walter Hill's 1979 street-gang thriller 'The Warriors' before the director cast him as the trigger-happy criminal Billy Bear in 1982's '48 Hrs.'
Landham, who was part Cherokee and Seminole, was perhaps most known for playing the Native American tracker Billy Sole in the 1987 Arnold Schwarzenegger film 'Predator.'
Landham entered the movie business after working in pornography in the '70s.
