'Tremors' star Fred Ward has passed away at 79.
Fred Ward, the brusque man of action in films including Tremors, The Right Stuff, and Henry & June, died at age 79 as confirmed by his publicist Ron Hofmann. Even in his heyday, he took to the screen as a welcome relic of a bygone era with a level of grit, charm, and tenderness reminiscent of Clark Gable. No cause of death is currently known for the actor.
COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY What is likely Ward's best-known appearance wouldn't come until 1990, however, with the inception of the Tremors franchise. Ward played the gruff Earl Bassett opposite Kevin Bacon's Valentine McKee in the beloved horror-comedy. It was partly his chemistry with Bacon that made the film a classic, from their penchant for plans and a general desire to do anything else but be handymen.
The unique thing about Fred Ward is that you never knew where he was going to pop up, so unpredictable were his career choices.
