William M. "Sonny" Landham (February 11, 1941 – August 17, 2017) was an American film actor and stunt man. He is best known for his role as tracker Billy Sole in Predator.Landham was born February 11, 1941, in Canton, Georgia, and raised in Rome, Georgia. He was a descendant of the Cherokee and Seminole tribes. He also stated he had Jewish heritage. He had at least one sibling, a sister, Dawn. He attended Saint Mary's Catholic School and Darlington School before playing football for a year at the University of Georgia.At the beginning of his acting career, Landham was an actor in pornographic films. He then became a mainstream movie actor and appeared in a number of Hollywood films, including The Warriors (as a subway policeman whose leg gets broken by a baseball bat-wielding Michael Beck), Predator, 48 Hrs., Lock Up and Action Jackson.In 2003, Landham ran in the Republican Party primary election for the post of Governor of Kentucky, hoping to repeat the success of his Predator castmates Minnesota Governor Jesse Ventura and California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger. He based his candidacy on opposition to an amendment which endorsed the Kentucky Family Court, saying his bad experiences at the hands of the family court had convinced him it was for the benefit of lawyers rather than families or children. He was unsuccessful in gaining the party's nomination. He ran briefly as an independent candidate, but withdrew on June 18, 2003, and endorsed the Republican slate.In January 2004, Landham announced his candidacy for the 27th State Senate District of Kentucky.

On June 25, 2008, Landham announced his candidacy for the U.S. Senate seat held by Mitch McConnell on the Libertarian line.The same day Landham was accused of calling for genocide against Arabs (who Landham referred to as "camel dung shovelers," "camel jockeys," and "rag-heads") for his comments on the political radio show The Weekly Filibuster. Three days later, on June 28, the Kentucky Libertarians voted unanimously to withdraw Landham's nomination, citing his comments were not in keeping with the party's platform and values.Landham was married five times. He had four children, including a son named William, and a daughter named Priscilla. After being convicted on federal charges of making threatening and obscene phone calls to his wife, Landham spent three years in prison. However the U.S. Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals reversed the conviction in May 2001. On September 19, 2006, Landham was injured in a four-car accident in Ashland, Kentucky.
