The American actor Bill Cobbs, with films such as "Air Bud – What a player", "Demolition man", "Bodyguard", and "Night at the museum: The secret of the tomb" – among others – on his CV, has passed away at the age of 90.
"Bill loved his profession, other actors, his family, and his friends. He was extremely generous with his time and support to young talents. He is rightly regarded as a cherished icon", says a spokesperson for Cobbs to People.
Bill Cobbs' acting career began late in life. He worked as a radar technician in the American air force before, at the age of 36, leaving his hometown of Cleveland to try to make it big in Hollywood.
It was a decision that paid off. During his 50-year career, he managed to land around 200 film and TV roles. His film debut took place in 1974, in the role of "man on the platform" in the thriller "Pelham 1-2-3 hijacked".
