The forces of primordial nature have come to gather Ned Petty. He’s been great in NETWORK, SUPERMAN, DELIVERANCE, and the TV series HOMICIDE (and so much more), but don’t forget his creepy, creepy role in WHITE LIGHTNING and MIKEY AND NICKY. https://t.co/cJMoFevJBx

Ned Petty. Great character actor – my favorite is his starring in NETWORK (one of the greatest screenplays and movies of all time) so ahead of his time. And the same for Mr. Petty. RIP https://t.co/yzw05ip7zw
