Actor Ned Beatty, who played Rudy's father, dead at 83 Actor Ned Beatty, who appeared in more than 160 films and who was once nominated for an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor for his role in “Network”, has died at 83 years old.

Beatty was known by Notre Dame fans for his role in the 1993 film “Rudy” in which he played the underdog football player’s father and declared Notre Dame Stadium’s field “…the most beautiful sight these eyes have ever seen”.

As great of a line that is, perhaps my favorite part of that movie isn’t Rudy recording the sack at the end of the game (sorry for the spoiler but it’s been almost 30 years), but instead when he delivers the news to his father at work that he had been accepted to Notre Dame: https://fightingirishwire.usatoday.com/2021/06/13/ned-beatty-death-actor-hollywood/

From Vahid Sadrzadeh: inspired by Notre Dame's Rudy Ruettiger:
I sat down the Notre Dame legend who tells me when the pair met in 2011, Bryant said the movie inspired him to follow his dreams.

Although many people have been sharing stories of how Kobe Bryant impacted their lives in some way, Notre Dame football legend Rudy who inspired Bryant was Notre Dame football legend Rudy Ruettiger.

Rudy, whose rise to gridiron glory is well documented, says when he met Bryant in 2011, Bryant thanked him for keeping his chin up in tough times.

“He says, 'See you have talent. You had no talent. But you went out there and followed your dreams. You got kicked around. You got kicked up. You remind me not to take my talent for granted. That’s why I’m out here,'" Rudy said. “I didn’t know I was making an impact on him. That’s why you go for your dreams because dreams inspire other dreams. We can’t take what we have for granted. Maybe that was his gift to everyone here. God has taken him and his daughter in a good place although it was a tragic ending. But they're in a good place.”

Have any of you seen the film "Rudy"?
I first saw it when I was 15 or 16. The story gave me the biggest jolt of inspiration of any film I have ever seen.

If Rudy could accomplish that without being blessed with the physical talent to play football at that level, then what could I accomplish if I worked as hard as he did? After watching that movie, I decided that I would always work as if I'm the last man on the team that had everything to prove. From that point to this day I have been doing exactly that.

I met the real Rudy by chance last season on the court prior to a road game vs Sacramento. His daughter just so happen to be singing the national anthem that night. He had no clue what an inspiration he has been for me over the years. It was great to finally meet him and share with him what a great influence his story has had on me.

This morning I received a copy of his book. It dives even deeper into his journey. I share this with you in hopes that it might ignite in you a similar passion as it did for me. It doesn't matter if you play sports or not. Determination, belief, perseverance, passion etc.. Will elevate you to your goal no matter what the goal may be.

Mamba out.
