I bring you sad news
Now let's talk about Police Academy, I suppose.
Bubba Smith, the American football star who found fame on screen playing Hightower in the Police Academy movies, has died at the age of 66.
The 6ft 7in (2m) star won the 1971 Super Bowl with the Baltimore Colts and moved into acting in the late 70s.
He played the softly-spoken Moses Hightower in six Police Academy films.
Smith was found dead at his home in Los Angeles. The cause of death has not been confirmed, but police have said it did not appear to be suspicious.
He began his acting career with small roles in TV shows such as Wonder Woman, Taxi and Charlie's Angels before joining the recruits in the first Police Academy movie in 1984.
Hightower became a regular character in the comedy franchise, known for his gentle nature and physical strength, which saw him lifting cars or wrestling alligators in the pursuit of bad guys.
Born Charles Aaron Smith, he made his name on the field as a fearsome defensive player for Michigan State University.
He moved into the NFL with the Baltimore Colts in 1967 and played for the Oakland Raiders and the Houston Oilers, before retiring from the sport in 1976.
Now let's talk about Police Academy, I suppose.

Mahoney, you lovable scamp, trying to teach Hightower to drive.
"Just one more thing.."
Because he was tall and friendly and didn't give shit to nobody who didn't ask for it.
I never saw anything except the first film but I liked what I saw
Yes, this is what I hope.
A noble end to a noble life then.
