You may not have known his name, but you certainly remember his face. Red-haired, fat, aggressively ugly, John Quade generally played villains during his Hollywood career. Remember the leader of the Comancheros in “The Outlaw Josey Wales?” Remember the motorcycle gang leader in “Any Which Way But Loose?” Remember Sheriff Biggs in “Roots?” That was John Quade. He has died, I’ve just learned.

He was also a Christian convert who involved himself in somewhat radical antigovernment movements, according to his Wikipedia article.
