His statue should be in front of Newark's City Hall instead of one for that fentanyl dealer.

I will always remember him from the Beastmaster movie LOL. He lived in or near Califon back then.

Really nice man, worked with him on a movie filming back in the 90's, just a regular guy, no pretense whatsoever

Some might not know you played football at Colorado State and had tryouts with the Denver Broncos and Kansas City Chiefs.

Was he from Newark?

Thinking back on the various movies and shows he was in, he was always really good. Even when he was a "bad guy", like Die Hard 2.

Born in Newark. That’s good enough for that statue at City Hall.
