Kubrick's Full Metal Jacket is your emblematic claim to fame, but your rugged persona traveled beyond your "Rafterman" role.
The Clint Eastwood/Dirty Harry classic, Sudden Impact, is high on the list, as well as Death Wish II with Charles Bronson's Paul Kersey (in particular for the famous, "You believe in Jesus?" exchange), accompanied by Alien Nation; Crusade; Serial; Roadhouse 66; Livers Ain't Cheap; The Real Thing; Off the Minnesota Strip; The Big Black Pill; Scared Straight! Another Story; War Party; Freedom; and The Heroes of Desert Storm; with even an uncredited (though later acknowledged) part in De Palma's Scarface.
You accumulated a fair sum of television ventures, too, with guest spots on the original incarnations of Magnum P.I., MacGyver, The A-Team, CHiPs and Miami Vice, abetted by T.J. Hooker; Trapper John, M.D.; Cagney & Lacey; Riptide, Strike Force; 247-Robert; For Love and Honor; The Outsiders; Tucker's Witch; and Superboy. As a swell bonus, you were commemorated on the BBC series Headshot, for being a noted, face model.
You career rode the virile path, Mr. Howard, with a hard-nose guise that invariably benefitted those who stood in your presence. Your fans know it, appreciate it and won't soon forget it.
