Biography
Keith Joseph Loneker (June 21, 1971 – June 22, 2017) was an American actor and former professional football player, born in Roselle Park, New Jersey, 6′ 4″ (193 cm) tall. He walked on to the University of Kansas football team in 1989, played offensive tackle for four seasons, and went on to play guard in the NFL for the St. Louis Rams (1993–1995) and the Atlanta Falcons (1996). His first film role came as "White Boy Bob" in Steven Soderbergh's Out of Sight (1998, with George Clooney and Jennifer Lopez), which he landed through a recommendation from a former NFL teammate who worked as an agent. He settled in Lawrence, Kansas, where he coached youth football, worked as a substitute teacher, and raised his two children, Keith Loneker Jr. and Kylee. He died of cancer the day after his 46th birthday. His most notable film credits include Wild Bill Cherry in Superbad (2007, with Michael Cera and Jonah Hill), Big Gus Schiller in Leatherheads (2008, directed by and starring George Clooney), Clarence Darlington in Lakeview Terrace (2008, with Samuel L. Jackson), Donny "Rhino" Reinhardt in Rhino (2012), Knuckles in Jersey Boys (2014, directed by Clint Eastwood), Little Joe in Outlaws and Angels (2016), and Cyrus in The Vault (2017, posthumous release). On television he appeared as Crayton in Outsiders (2016, Amazon), and he also served as football technical advisor and stunt director on Pass the Light (2015) and Underdogs (2013).
