What was the name of the actor?


I saw part of this episode a long time ago where it's like Benson gets into trouble with this huge guy, who is mad at the way he's treating this waitress or something. I don't remember the whole summary, but who was that big guy? I remember me immediately recognizing him. Was he a wrestler or something? He looked familiar. Please tell me if you know who it is.

Yeah, he did remind me of a wrestler, you may be right. Sorry, but I just looked it up and I can't find his name anywhere, online anyway. I wonder if it's in the credits of the episodes. He sure was huge.

Wait a minute... who am I here?

Thanks. Can you tell me what the episode name was in that case?

The episode you're referring to is "On The Road"....I forget the name of the actor. If I figure it out, I'll repost it later.

His name is John Matusak. He played in the NFL for several years, mostly for the Oakland Raiders, developing a reputation as a very violent defensive lineman. He also had a lot of roles in Hollywood playing mostly tough guys, bikers, prison inmate and the like. Sadly, he did of dug related causes some time ago.

I knew I had recognized him from somewhere. Yeah, that is pretty sad he died of drug related issues. He was 6'8... wow.
