    This guy sounds like a bullshit artist as much as an actor. Everything he’s done is superlative unless it was done in front of the camera and then it’s strictly B list stuff.

    Several movies listed on IMDB are uncredited roles – specifically roles in well known, successful movies.

    He’s apparently serving in the USAF and NSA and acting and going to school to earn a Master’s degree in Russian and teaching Russian all at about the same time. I’d like to see his DD214. I’ll bet money it would have very little in it and he’d attribute the lack of information to it being top secret or classified.

    He cites a marriage to a French actress as the reason for a lost security clearance – at a time when France was an ally so no real reason to lose a clearance.

    He cites the loss of a family farm in the 30s due to the Dust Bowl. The only problem is that the Dust Bowl was no where near the stated family farm location of Columbia, MO.

    And records – none of which are official but all eclipse the official records of the time.

    Sure, he’s a man’s man but I think he embellishes for whatever reason.

    You’re not alone to question some of these things. Hell, I wrote a piece that was very similar calling Frank Dux a liar! There might be some holes in this story but I can assure you that serving in the military in 2018 is far different than serving in his time. Either way, I want to believe!

    You two sound jealous, classic cases of sour grapes. The accomplishments listed for Mr. Smith are indeed documented. It is possible for a person to achieve the seeming impossible. Get off your asses and do something.

    I wrote the article, pal

    Chad Cruise you and the other guy bitching are probably fat keyboard warriors

    Try again, Joseph!

    Chris Rice is a little “b i t c h” to be sure and would never call into question these things to Bill’s face. I met Bill in 2006 and took a photo with him, I spoke to him about a 1/2 hour with him and his wife, Joanne. I do not doubt any of his accomplishments for a second and if you do, that’s because you’re not old enough to understand that back in Smith’s day, people actually didn’t bullshit a whole lot. Smith was from the “WWII” greatest generation and those men were as manly as they came.

    Smith was highly intelligent and ready to challenge you. I spoke to him about engineering (I’m an engineer and I used to box a little) and he was no dummy. When I met Smith, he still had 18” arms!! At 73 years old! The dude was anything but a bullshitter and I can tell you, that even at 73 when I met him, he could pound your ass into the ground. You would not want to get into a fight with Bill Smith and I have had a few fights in my time.

    Go call into question the background of some little millennial “b i t c h”, not William Smith, who I know for a stone cold fact could have put his c o c k into Chad’s mouth and he couldn’t have done anything about it.

    Chad Rice is definitely jealous and extremely stupid.

    @Chad Cruise – “I wrote the article pal”

    You sound like a real dope too… Unless you have met Smith, you really don’t know what a shadow the man cast. He was likable, very good looking when he was young (he got a lot of poon, LOL), and was highly competitive.

    Smith didn’t need to BS anyone and if anyone BS’d, it was from people who met Smith, not Smith himself. Bill impressed people and that alone leads people to exaggerate.

    We have some real winners, here! I’m gonna drop the last quote from my article on you morons:

    “Smith’s coolness oozed out of him and threatened to make anyone close enough “cooler” just by proxy. That’s a whole lot of man, folks.”

  11. Jason says:

    @Chad Cruise , So many haters and jealous “men” trying to tear down a monument that honored Mr.Smith.
    Sadly, he is no longer with us, but he now enters Legend status.
    Well written article. Thank you.

  12. Chad Cruise says:

    Thanks Jason. Good to see there are intelligent people who read this site and not just those jabronis in the comments above.

  13. Joanne Cervelli Smith says:

    Hey Chris Rice, you reek of jealously. Why don’t you spend your time accomplishing something worth talking about instead of trolling on the internet.

  14. Chad Cruise says:

    Joanne would know that William was a one of kind man!

    “Big Bill” was the real deal. One of the greatest on-screen villain’s of all time. I don’t think any actor can play a character that icy cold and badass, unless that is a part of who you actually are. I wonder where Bill’s career would have gone if he had played John Saxon’s Americanized James Bond character from Enter The Dragon. It would be great if someone could CGI it.
    It’s a shame that his movie and tv character’s would invariably get they’re asses kicked by the hero, when Bill could have easily wiped up the floor with all of them. He was trained by Kenpo Karate Grand Master Ed Parker Sr.
