Select Roles from the Dick Butkus Filmography

The other day our lunch conversation turned to Hall of Fame NFL linebacker Dick Butkus, who was a legend in Chicago when I was a little boy. But my kids didn’t know who he was, so I explained: was a fearsome competitor on the gridiron, albeit a conscientious one: “When I played pro football, I never set out to hurt anyone deliberately—unless it was, you know, important, like a league game or something.”

After football, he went into acting. Not only did he appear on screen as himself 41 times, he stretched out in a variety of roles where he was totally not typecast at all … well, maybe you should be the judge of that:

  • Coach Mike Katowinski
  • Convict Football Player
  • Earl Dent
  • Ed Klawicki
  • Dick Kowalski
  • Vic Garrett/The Annihilator
  • Tank Mason
  • Richard ‘Ski’ Butowski
  • Crusher Kawalski
  • Officer Allan Dimsky
  • Derrick Haskell/Moose Maloney
  • Dave ‘The Animal’
  • Heavy
