I remember him in The Longest Yard & The Rocketeer. Some may recall him in Time Rider, School Ties, True Romance; to name a few.

He was a great character actor...what a shame...

[Johnny]

Very saddened to hear this.
I had the great pleasure of playing Ed's
brother on an episode of Highlander years
ago. We hoisted a few beers together after
long days of shooting in the woods. He was
a great guy and a real old school authentic
actor.

RIP Mr. Lauter. You will be missed.

He was always one of those I see him in a lot of things but never remember his name actors to me,my condolences to his family.

[palitoy]

He's one of the high points in the campy extravaganza that is death wish 3.

[Mikey]

I'll always remember him from Mean Machine

[Mego MkIV]

He was in Revenge Of The Nerds 2 as well but I almost forgot Deathwish 3,I still love the part where Charles Bronsen walks through the neighbor hood mowing down thugs with a 30 caliber machine gun.

[Saroyan]

IMDB lists him with 204 acting credits- the first being in 1971!

[MegoFan67]

He appeared in about every major tv show in 70s and 80s, plus numerous film credits.Not many actors have a career like that.

[Iron Mego]

Oh man, he was a good one.

[Zemo]

Good actor, one of those guys that I never new his name.

As a kid I always called him "the guy that looks like Robert Duvall" even though he doesn't really--I thought so as a kid

He looks a little like a younger Duvall. I can see that.
