Ramon Bieri Movies
Burly character actor
Ramon Bieri made his first professional stage appearance in 1954. A film performer from 1970,
Bieri has often shown up as rednecks and rabblerousers. One of his best-remembered screen assignments was also one of his smallest: as the strong-arm police captain in
Warren Beatty's
Reds,
Bieri responded to
Beatty's explanatory "I write" by growling "No...you
wrong!" A more affable
Bieri was seen as
Babe Ruth in the 1977 TV movie
A Love Affair: The Eleanor and Lou Gehrig Story.
Ramon Bieri's many TV-series credits include the starring role of Detroit blue-collar worker Joe Wabash in Joe's World (1979-1980). ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
