TRIVIA:
- Won the role of "Red Foreman" on _"That '70s Show" (1998)_ (qv) when the original choice, 'Chuck Norris' (qv), was unavailable due to his commitment to filming _"Walker, Texas Ranger" (1993)_ (qv). Set near Milwaukee, WI, he was the only cast member to actually be from the state. Wisconsin is a Native American term for "land of red stone".
- Attended Santa Clara University in Santa Clara, California

- Curently doing voice work for the Chicago White Sox in a series of Radio Ads
- Played the father of Eric Forman on that 70s show and played the father of a patient treated by doctor Eric Forman on House M.D.
- "Kurtwood" is his real first name. According to an interview with Smith on 'Caroline Rhea' (qv)'s syndicated television show (8 April 2003), his mother was a fan of a country singer named Kurt (or Curt) in the early '40s. However, she thought "Kurt Smith" was too short a name, so she added "wood" -- "she just tacked it on to the end", said Smith. He noted that he's likely the only Kurtwood.
- Played two heavies named Clarence. "Going Berserk" (1983) and "RoboCop" (1987).
- His son,Shannon Smith, who goes by the stage name Dr. Sauce, hosted a radio show at Stanford University in the mid-to-late 1990s and played guitar in a band called The Vulcaneers.
