Actor and football great Charles A. "Bubba" Smith grew up in Beaumont, Texas, graduating from Charlton-Pollard High School, where he played for his father, Coach Willie Ray Smith. Bubba Smith went on to play for Michigan State University and became one of MSU's all-time great players, winning All-Big Ten and All-America honors for two straight years (1965 and 1966) as the team stomped through two unbeaten seasons and became the national champions. Whether he was playing tackle, defensive end, or middle guard, fans would cheer him on with, "Kill, Bubba, Kill!"

In 1967, the Baltimore Colts made him their number one draft choice. Although his rookie season was plagued with injuries, Bubba Smith came back strong his second season, contributing to the Colts' record of 15 victories in 17 games. Bubba stayed with the Colts through the 1972 season and racked up some impressive statistics. In his best season with the club, 1971, he blocked four field goal attempts and sacked nine quarterbacks. He played in the NFL championship game in 1968 and the Super Bowl in 1969 and 1971. He was chosen All-AFC in 1970 and 1971, and played in the Pro-Bowl in 1971 and 1972. He missed the 1972 season for knee surgery and was traded to the Oakland Raiders for Raymond Chester in 1973.

Bubba Smith moved to the Houston Oilers in 1975 and completed his career with them in 1977. A ten-year veteran of the NFL, he wrote his memoirs, "Kill, Bubba, Kill," with Hal de Windt in 1983.

He developed a successful second career as an actor, with guest appearances on prime time TV shows, including "Wonder Woman," "Charlie's Angels" and "Eight is Enough" and working in Miller Lite beer commercials. Smith says he quit the beer campaign because he felt it sent the "wrong message to kids."

Bubba Smith is best known to international film audiences as the softly spoken police officer "Moses Hightower" from the "Police Academy" series of comedies, in which he has appeared in all but one of the numerous sequels.

Bubba Smith has shown an enduring interest in education through his work with children and by endowing an engineering scholarship at Michigan State.
