Former NFL defensive end and longtime television and movie actor Charles Aaron “Bubba” Smith was found dead in his Los Angeles home on Wednesday. Coroner’s reports have not yet been released, but according to the Los Angeles Times, it is believed that Smith died of natural causes.
After his football career ended, Smith became perhaps even more well-known as an actor. He struck gold in the “Police Academy” series of movies, playing the hyper-strong Moses Hightower and providing a series of riotous slapstick scenes.
Charles Aaron “Bubba” Smith was 66 years old.
Everyone here at Shockblast Media would like to offer our condolences to the entire Smith family.
