R.I.P. The Great Movie Character Actor Bill McKinney

Although best known for ordering his victim to “Squeal like a pig” in DELIVERANCE — for which MAXIM Magazine named him the Top Villain of All Time — actor Bill McKinney had a long, great career from an early appearance on THE MONKEES all the way to BACK TO THE FUTURE 3 and THE GREEN MILE, with roles opposite Clint Eastwood (in 7 films!), Sylvester Stallone, and John Wayne.

I prefer to remember him as the diabolical, double-crossing Union officer “Red Legs” Terrell in THE OUTLAW JOSEY WALES, in which he relentlessly pursues Clint Eastwood from the beginning until the end of the movie.

From THE OUTLAW JOSEY WALES . . . “What the hell is ‘Red Legs’ doing here?!”
