LOS ANGELES – NFL star-turned-actor Bubba Smith was found dead Wednesday in his Los Angeles home at age 66.

According to the Los Angeles Times, Smith's body was discovered by a caretaker. A cause of death has not yet been determined.

Smith, best remembered for his role in comedy film series "Police Academy," played professional football with the Baltimore Colts, Oakland Raiders and Houston Oilers.

The six-foot-seven, 265-pound defensive lineman made two Pro Bowl appearances during his nine-year career.

This sucks, I was really looking forward to seeing him in the new Police Academy movie that is in pre-production. That makes four of the major cast members who have died and wont be coming back!

The other's are David Graf(Tackleberry), Billie Bird(Lois Feldman and Tab Thacker(Officer Thomas "House" Conklin) I really loved Graf and Smith, they will definately be missed in the upcoming movie!
