Another great one gone. I guess my earliest memory of him is his really fine scene at the first of The Wild Bunch. Then The Getaway, both American Graffiti films, The Man Who Loved Cat Dancing playing support to Burt Reynold, White Lightning...the list just keeps going. He was a what I've heard called a "utility player," one who was hardly ever the star, but he could play any role in support and do it very well.
I've always wanted to see The Killer Elite but I'm still waiting for it to hit one of my streaming services. I'll probably have to rent it on Amazon Prime because I'm tired of waiting.
But one of my favorites he did was one he was actually the star of and that was Tentacles (1977), a B-thriller with a killer octopus and some big stars supporting him for a change, along with a lot of Italian actors since it was made by an Italian director and crew but filmed mostly in California. Even though it wasn't a classic, it was very watchable and very cool to see Bo as the hero of the movie. I haven't seen Midnight Express in so long that I forgot he was in it.
So sad to hear that he's gone. We're losing all our great supporting actors, it seems. At least of my era. Godspeed, Bo.
