Lone Wolf Quade
John Quade, an ugly, mean-looking character actor who tried roughing up Clint Eastwood in several films, has died at the age of 71. He lent his dreadful countenance and menacing drawl to a number of roles, often as southern thugs or corrupt sheriffs, but is best remembered as the lead comanchero in The Outlaw Josey Wales, part of the gang that returns to the Man With No Name’s adopted town in High Plains Drifter and Cholla, leader of the Black Widows in Every Which Way But Loose and Any Which Way You Can. Eastwood told him he hired him for his face, and was thrilled to find he could actually act. A regular fixture on TV, Quade harassed B.A. and Face Man and Howling Mad and Hannibal, the cops on Hill Street, Manimal, Colt Seavers, Quincy, Jon Baker and Frank Poncherello, BJ McKay and the Bear, the Duke boys, Dan Tanna, Buck Rogers, Tony Baretta, Pepper Anderson, Sabrina and Kelly and Kris, Jamie Sommers, David Starsky and Kenneth Hutchinson, Marshal Sam McCloud, Jim Rockford, Stewart McMillan and his Mrs., Dusty and Mr. Callahan, Robert Ironside, the Cartwrights and Marshall Dillon.
