An American character actor with a genius for cold-eyed villainy and stern authority. He is unforgettable as the sadistic crime lord Clarence Boddicker in 'RoboCop' (1987) and the rigid Mr. Perry in 'Dead Poets Society' (1989), and has lent his voice to animation such as 'Regular Show: The Movie' (2015). A stage-trained performer, he became one of cinema's most reliable heavies and disapproving fathers. Kurtwood Smith is a superb American character actor, best known to later audiences for a beloved sitcom patriarch but forged in memorable big-screen menace.
