Chicago Bears legend Dick Butkus is known on his Pro Football Hall of Fame resume as a linebacker, but his numerous acting credits are also worthy of a standing ovation.
Butkus, who died “peacefully in his sleep overnight” on Oct. 5 at the age of 80, appeared in dozens of movies, television shows and commercials following his nine-year playing career with the Chicago Bears from 1965-1973.
