R.I.P.: Alex Karras

[erik]

Another addition to the 2012 Celebrities Obituary List, only this one was a heck of a football player in his day too. Alex Karras, whose acting credits included BLAZING SADDLES, PORKY'S, FM, and the TV series Webster, and who was part of the Detroit Lions' "Fearsome Foursome" defense from 1958 to 1970, has passed away at the age of 77.
