Charles Aaron "Bubba" Smith (February 28, 1945 – August 3, 2011) was an American actor and former athlete. He was a professional football player in the 1960s and 1970s who became an actor in the late 1970s. He was well known for his tremendous size at 6 ft 7 in (2 m).
He is perhaps best known for his role as Moses Hightower in the Police Academy movie series
Smith spent nine seasons in the NFL as a defensive end. He was the first overall selection in the 1967 NFL draft, chosen by the Baltimore Colts. The Colts won Super Bowl V at the end of the 1970 season, earning Smith his only Super Bowl ring.
Bubba Smith was found dead in his home on August 3, 2011, apparently of natural causes
