NEW YORK — Sonny Landham, the muscular action-movie actor who co-starred in "Predator" and "48 Hrs," has died. He was 76.

Landham's sister, Dawn Boehler, said the actor died from congestive heart failure Thursday at a Lexington, Kentucky, hospital. Landham was a brawny, deep-voiced actor and stunt man who played a bit part in Walter Hill's 1979 street-gang thriller "The Warriors" before the director cast him as the trigger-happy criminal Billy Bear in 1982's "48 Hrs."

Landham, who was part Cherokee and Seminole, was perhaps most known for playing the Native American tracker Billy Sole in the 1987 Arnold Schwarzenegger film "Predator."

Landham entered the movie business after working in pornography in the '70s. Later in life, he attempted brief and unsuccessful political campaigns.

He's survived by his son, William, and daughter, Priscilla.

Ran into him at a golf course in southern Indiana once. I was grabbing a quick bite at the turn and I'm like "holy shit, It's Billy Bear." Quite surreal.

If this thread doesn't bring back SomeGuy, nothing will.

There's something out there waiting for us, and it ain't no man. We're all gonna die.

Did he ask the beverage chick for a beer and she told him "Firewater? Is that what you mean, Tonto? "
