Before this, the late actor worked with Carpenter on his earlier hit movie Assault on Precinct 13 (1976), in which he played Officer Starker. Cyphers' costar in both films, Nancy Kyes, shared, "So sorry to hear about dear Chuck. My friend of many years, he could always be relied on for a kind word, a good laugh and a great story. How he will be missed."

Born in Niagara Falls, New York in 1939, Cyphers developed an early interest in acting and did a BA in theatre from the American Academy of Dramatic Arts and California State University. He appeared in multiple hit TV shows including Charlie's Angels (1977), Roots (1977), The Betty White Show (1977), Barnaby Jones (1973-1977), Starsky and Hutch (1976-1979), The Dukes of Hazzard (1979-1984) and Hill Street Blues (1985-1987). "Charles was a lovable and sensitive man," said Roe.
