Steve Hollar


Steve Hollar is an American actor known for his role as Rade Butcher in the 1986 film Hoosiers starring Gene Hackman.
Hollar was a member of DePauw University's basketball team when Hoosiers was filmed in 1985. Because NCAA rules prohibit athletes from being paid for playing sports during their college eligibility, Hollar was suspended for three games in November 1986, shortly after the movie's world premiere. The following month he also was ordered to return 5% of his movie earnings.
Hollar appeared in three films: Hoosiers, Hell on the Battleground, and New Life. He used his earnings to pay for dental school and today works as a dentist in Warsaw, Indiana, his hometown.
