The actor Ted White died on Friday at the age of 96. White is best known for his role in the movie Friday the 13th: The Final Chapter.
White died peacefully in his sleep, according to Sean Clark. I have known him and worked with him for over two decades. Clark wrote that he was his adopted grandpa and that he was the best story teller he had ever met. We always had steak dinners. My thoughts go out to his family. It was an honor to know that. It's good to rest easy. You Ted, I love you.
Ted White was born in Texas on January 25, 1926 and went on to play football for the University of Oklahoma before becoming an actor. He played a random marine in 1949's The Sands of Iwo Jima and served as a consultant on the layout of the island due to his military service. He became a stunt double for John Wayne after seeing that film. His career as a stuntman has included films such as 1969's Planet of the Apes and 1973's Soylent Green, as well as 1981's Escape from New York and 2000's Gone in 60 Seconds.
White had a lot of uncredited roles in movies like Romancing the Stone and TRON: Legacy. He admitted that he needed the money when he agreed to play him. White turned them down when asked to reprise the role. He didn't return to the Friday the 13th franchise, but he did feature in two films about it. Cast a Giant Shadow was written by Larry K.Meredith.
We are thinking of the White family at this time.
