Actor Ron Lester, who portrayed Billy Bob in the 1999 football film Varsity Blues, died Friday at a Dallas hospital following liver and kidney failure. He was 45.
Lester "passed away peacefully" while surrounded by friends and family after being taken off life support around 8:30 p.m. CST
Billy Bob was one of my favorite football movie characters from one of my favorite movies. Sad to hear that Lester only made it to 45.
