Spradlin" had been a prosperous Texas business tycoon and a highly respected history teacher. In films from 1968's "Will Penny," the actor is perhaps best remembered for his work as on-the-take Senator Pat Geary in "The Godfather, Part 2" (1974). His regal, assured bearing made him a natural for such forceful characterizations as LBJ in the 1990 TV movie "Robert Kennedy and His Times." Spradlin has also played his share of high-ranking military officers, most memorably in "Apocalypse Now" (1979). A somewhat more avuncular G. D. Spradlin was seen in the role of Baptist minister (and erstwhile movie producer) Reverend Lemon in "Ed Wood" (1994). ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
