Actor Sam Bottoms has died of brain cancer

Sam Bottoms, who had small but memorable roles in the 1970s classics Apocalypse Now and The Last Picture Show, has died.


Bottoms, one of four actor brothers, died of brain cancer at his home in Los Angeles on Tuesday, his wife, Laura Bickford, told the Los Angeles Times. He was 53.


In Apocalypse Now, Francis Ford Coppolas 1979 Vietnam War epic, Bottoms played pro surfer-turned-soldier Lance B Johnson, who takes to the waves amid bombs and bullets under the orders of the maniacal, surfing-mad Lieutenant Colonel Bill Kilgore, played by Robert Duvall.


"He was a handsome, tall young man and very sweet-natured and seemed to be right for that part," Coppola said on Wednesday. "Sam was a good actor. Of course, he comes from a family that had a lot of theatrical activity."
