Former NFL defensive star Bubba Smith, who launched a successful acting career after his playing days, has died at the age of 66.

Charles "Bubba" Smith was found dead Wednesday at his home in suburban Baldwin Hills, police and the Los Angeles County coroner's office said.

Los Angeles police officer Gregory Baek said Smith was thought to have died of natural causes, but the coroner's office had not yet made a final determination of the cause of death.

As an actor, he was best known for playing the physically imposing but soft-spoken police recruit Moses Hightower in all but one of the "Police Academy" films.

He starred in several minor movie and television roles.
