Lions standout from the 60s; played Mongo in Blazing Saddles and Webster's dad from that 80s sitcom.

Another great role he played in was as the coach in the 80s flick Against All Odds with the super hot Rachel Ward. Very cool seedy side of football movie.

Seems like a pretty likable guy from what I know of him. Wish you all the best Mr. Karras.
