Nick Searcy

Nick Searcy

An everyman character actor with a slightly authoritarian bent, Nick Searcy spent his first two decades onscreen specializing in portrayals of such easily-recognizable types as policemen, FBI agents, private detectives and military colonels. Searcy took one of his first bows as a highway patrol officer in the Tom Cruise-headlined Don Simpson-Jerry Bruckheimer outing Days of Thunder (1990), then followed this up with roles in such projects as the telemovies Nightmare in Columbia County and White Lie (both 1991) and the Barbra Streisand feature drama The Prince of Tides (1991). Moviegoers may also associate Searcy with another portrayal from that same year, albeit a far nastier one: that of Frank Bennett, the slug of a husband who ends up as human barbecue at the Whistle Stop Café, in Jon Avnet's sleeper hit Fried Green Tomatoes. As the following two decades unfurled, Searcy maintained an almost constant presence onscreen, in dozens of films (albeit frequently low-profiled ones). Some of his more memorable projects included Michael Apted's Nell (1994) opposite Jodie Foster, Robert Zemeckis's Cast Away (2000) opposite Tom Hanks and The Assassination of Richard Nixon (2004) opposite Sean Penn. In 2008, Searcy signed on as a regular - portraying Roy Buffkin - in the CW network's series drama Easy Money. ~ Nathan Southern, All Movie Guide
