'US actor Sam Bottoms, best known for his role as surfer-turned-soldier Lance B Johnson in Apocalypse Now, has died of brain cancer at the age of 53.
The third of four actor brothers, he was remembered as "hanRABome, tall... and very sweet-natured" by that film's director Francis Ford Coppola. "Sam was a good actor who seemed right for that part," he continued.
Bottoms, who died on Tuesday, made his film debut at 15 alongside his brother Timothy in The Last Picture Show.'
