Fred Ward – Parallel Universe Star

posted by Jett Loe

Why didn’t Fred Ward make it?  He was all set up with an action franchise – did great work in ‘Miami Blues’, The Right Stuff” and ‘Tremors’ and yet and yet.

Not a star.  Not really.

But.  In my world – my parallel universe – he would have been big.  You’d see Fred Ward action figures – his bulky frame would be on super-sized drink cups – he’d be the star of his own legal detective series, have a string of successful David Lynch and Michael Bay pictures behind him and regularly feature on covers of supermarket magazines.

But. No.

No love for the Ward on this Earth.  Just not right.
