Biografia:

Fred Ward (30 dicembre 1942 – 8 maggio 2022) è stato un attore statunitense, noto per la sua versatilità e per i numerosi ruoli interpretati in film drammatici, thriller, commedie e pellicole di fantascienza. Nato a San Diego, in California, prestò servizio nell'aeronautica militare statunitense prima di dedicarsi alla recitazione. Dopo aver studiato teatro e aver lavorato anche in Italia, iniziò la sua carriera sullo schermo negli anni Settanta. Si fece notare nel film Fuga da Alcatraz (1979), accanto a Clint Eastwood, e consolidò la propria reputazione con Southern Comfort (1981), Silkwood (1983) e Uomini veri (1983), nel quale interpretò l'astronauta Virgil “Gus” Grissom. Nel 1985 fu protagonista di Il mio nome è Remo Williams, mentre nel 1990 interpretò lo scrittore Henry Miller in Henry & June e il meccanico Earl Bassett nella commedia horror Tremors, uno dei ruoli più celebri della sua carriera. L'anno successivo recitò in Il duro del Road House e, nel 1992, apparve in I protagonisti di Robert Altman. La collaborazione con il regista proseguì in America oggi (1993), film corale che gli valse, insieme al resto del cast, importanti riconoscimenti, tra cui un Golden Globe speciale. Negli anni successivi prese parte a produzioni come Una pallottola spuntata 33⅓ – L'insulto finale (1994), Potere assoluto (1997), Tutta colpa dell'amore (2002) e Il corvo 3 – Salvation (2000). Continuò inoltre a lavorare in televisione, comparendo in serie come E.R. – Medici in prima linea, Grey's Anatomy e True Detective, nella cui seconda stagione apparve nel 2015. Fred Ward si distinse per il suo stile recitativo essenziale e per la capacità di alternare personaggi duri e introversi a ruoli ironici e imprevedibili. Morì l'8 maggio 2022, all'età di 79 anni, lasciando un'importante eredità nel cinema americano.
