R.D. Call

R.D. Call was an American actor, best known for his roles in films directed by Walter Hill. He was born and raised in Utah and attended the Utah State University and Weber State University. Call moved to Los Angeles in 1976 and began training with Lee Strasberg. His first role was in Barnaby Jones (1973), a TV series directed by Leo Penn. Call then took roles in the Walter Hill films 48 Hrs. (1982) and Brewster's Millions (1985). Next came At Close Range (1986), opposite Sean Penn, and the Charlie Sheen thriller, No Man's Land (1987). Dennis Hopper cast him in Hopper's thriller, Colors (1988), again opposite Sean Penn. Call would work with both Leo and Sean Penn -- and Martin Sheen -- in Judgment in Berlin (1988). Towards the end of the 1980s, roles included Michael Mann's L.A. Takedown (1989) -- the original version of Mann's Heat (1995) -- and a cameo appearance in Oliver Stone's Born on the Fourth of July (1989). Call appeared opposite Emilio Estevez and Kiefer Sutherland in Young Guns II (1990) and was back with Sean Penn in State of Grace (1990), conveying a close working relationship with both the Penn and Sheen families. The mid-1990s were equally kind to Call, with roles in Waterworld (1995) and Walter Hill's Last Man Standing (1996), in which he starred with Bruce Willis. More recent roles include the Sandra Bullock thriller, Murder by Numbers (2002), the Brad Pitt drama, Babel (2006), and the Sean Penn-directed Into the Wild (2007). Call appeared in numerous TV series, including The X Files (1993) and Stephen King's Golden Years (1991).
