Tracy Vaccaro, an actor and Playboy centerfold, married him in May 1983; the couple divorced in 1988. They have at least one daughter together. The dryer still lives in Los Angeles and operates his own production company (Fred Dryer Productions).
NFL career
In the first round of the 1969 NFL Draft by the New York Giants, the Dryer was drafted and received a rookie job. He was the right defensive end from 1969 to 1971. Although the NFL did not officially recognize Quarterback as sacking before 1982, teams did manage their own sack data at that time. As such, he was in charge of quarterback sacks in 1969, 12 in 1970, and 81 in 1971. He was also one of the defensive innovators in other genres. In 1969, he had 58 tackles (39 solo), six passes deflected and prompted two fumbles and recovered two others.
The next season Dryer was an alternate to the Pro Bowl, but he was unable to play due to a bruised hip. After racking 59 tackles (43 solo), three forcible fumbles, three forced fumbles, three forkless fumbles, three forked fumbles, three intercepted fumbles, three bystanders, three fumbles, three fumbles, three fortified fumbles, he was returned to his second team, with two others relocating with his 12 sacks. He led the team in 1971 with 812 sacks and a total of 52 tackles (33 solo). For the third season in a row, he blocked two passes, sparked two more fumbles, and recovered two more for the third time in a row.
Dryer was traded to the New England Patriots in February 1972 for three draft choices (first and sixth in 1972; a second in 1973). Eldridge Small, the Giants' defensive back, was selected using the first round pick. Since Dryer did not sign a deal for the 1971 season, he was eligible to become a free agent in May 1972. He refused to report to the Patriots until they agreed to a long-term deal, making him the highest paid defensive lineman in pro football. The Patriots refused to answer his demands and instead sent him to the Los Angeles Rams for a 1973 first round draft pick (which they later used to select fullback Sam Cunningham) and backup defensive end Rick Cash four days before he could become a free agent. Dryer got what he wanted all along: a move to a West Coast squad — and he committed to a multi-year deal with the Rams. Jack Youngblood, the left defensive end of the Rams' rookie year, made only four appearances in his first year with the Rams, but he continued to play in every game despite a broken hand and nose. In 1972, his primary job was to appear on likely passing downs and rush the passer. He had 40 tackles (17 solo) and 412 sacks.
Dryer started all 14 games on the right side and became the first NFL player to have two safeties in the same game by dumping opposing passers in the end zone twice in the fourth quarter. He ended the season with ten sacks, three forked fumbles, and three with three recovered fumbles (all three were second on the top-ranked Rams defense). Pro Football Weekly selected him as a Second-team All-NFC pick after the season. He finished the season with 39 tackles (1921 solo), three tackled fumbles, and three fumbles were recovered, with three of whom were recovered.
He had 15 firings, which co-led (with Youngblood), in 1974, and he was also named as the Rams Outstanding Defensive Lineman. He was selected for the NEA First-Team and AP Second-team All-Pro and All-NFC. He had another good year against the run, totaling 49 tackles (34 solo) and two forced fumbles.
On a 20-yard interception return against Philadelphia, Dryer scored his first NFL touchdown in 1975. Dryer told his teammates that if he ever scored another, he would set his hair on fire in the end zone. Against the Eagles on that day, he chose to commemorate "rolling six," a touchdown game in which the player rolls the ball like an imaginary pair of dice with some of his teammates cheering. He died with 12 sacks, leaving only Jack Youngblood and was named All-NFC. In addition, Dryer appeared in the 1975 Pro Bowl. Dryer was superb against the run, with 61 tackles (39 solo) and two passes deflection, and two passes deflection, although two fumbles returned to continue with the 20-yard TD interception.
After the 1975 season, rule changes in the NFL offensive line hindered Dryer, due to his small frame. In 1976, he had a 55-tackle, five-sack season (33 solo). He did deflect two passes and force three fumbles to lead his team, but he did not want to lead his team. Dryer started a new diet in 1977 and received a new appreciation from NFL sportswriters for the work he had done. He had 35 tackles (28 solo) and six sacks. He also knocked down four passes, recovered three fumbles, and caused one fumble. 1978 was the same as the next one. On the NFL's No. 1 defense, Dryer was the starting right defensive end. The Rams lost their sixth straight division crown with 51 tackles (33 solo) and forced two fumbles, recovered three, blocked a kick, and barred one pass.
Dryer will be named an honorable mention All-NFC for his career (31 solo), ten sacks, and three forced fumbles (with one recover). Dryer retired after a career-high five sacks against the New York Giants on October 28 of this year. The Rams will finally break through and win the Super Bowl at last. When the Rams defeated the Pittsburgh Steelers on January 20, 1980, the dryer appeared in Super Bowl XIV. The Rams led 19-17 against the defending champions, but the Steelers won the game by a score of fourteen unanswered points in the fourth quarter, 31–17. Dryer spent the remainder of the season in his right defensive end position with third-year player Reggie Doss. They had 67 tackles (Dryer 31, 20 solo) and 12 sacks (Dryer 51, Doss 612), with Dryer 31, 31-20, Dryer 31 and Doss, 612).
Dryer ended his career with 104 career sacks, but as previously stated, the figure was not released until after he retired. Dryer played on a tough Los Angeles Ram defense that allowed fewer points, fewer total yards, less rushing yards, and fired more quarterbacks than any other defense in the 1970s.
Dryer, the editor of Interview magazine, which was published by Andy Warhol from the late 1960s to the early 1990s, was considered the pinnacle of "magazine chic" in January 1981. In 2003, the NFL Alumni Award was presented to former NFL players "for Getting to the Top of his Field."
The win by Dryer's record-breaking game at Los Angeles on October 21, 1973, was 24-7 over Green Bay. The Packers got into their own territory, down 20-7 in the fourth quarter, when the Dryer brothers came from the right side of the defense and chased down Green Bay quarterback Scott Hunter, who was suspended in the end zone for a safety.
Dryer charged again on the Packers' after possession near their own goal line. Jim Del Gaizo was dragged down for his second game of the season by looping through the middle of the Packers' offensive line, breaking a record. Dryer was named the Associated Press Defensive Player of the Week for his efforts.
Acting career
When Dryer helped cover Super Bowl IX for SPORT magazine, he stretched his acting muscles before beginning his show business career. This journalistic assignment was made up of the grandiose and self-important characteristics of the NFL's championship match. Donning costumes were inspired by "Scoops Brannigan" (Dryer) and "Cubby O'Switzer" (Rentzel) by both the Pittsburgh Steelers and Minnesota Vikings' (Respectzel) and "Cubby O'Switzer" (Rentzel), with questions that ranged from clichéd to downright absurd. This was the source for the Super Bowl's eccentricities. In 1981 and 1982, he appeared as a color analyst on CBS's NFL coverage.
When producers/creators Glen and Les Charles, and James Burrows were producing the soon-to-become sitcom Cheers, Dryer, along with two other actors, Sam Malone, was considered lead character in the early 1980s. Ted Danson did eventually win the role, but Dryer later appeared in "Sam at Eleven," "Old Flames," "Love Thy Neighbor," and "I' On Sports" as a sportscaster (and Sam's former Red Sox teammate). In the Season 5 episode Force Seven, Lt. John LeGarre, a clandestine LAPD unit deployed for extraordinary circumstances, he appeared on CHiPs as Lt. John LeGarre.
In the 1980s television crime drama Hunter, Dryer's best-known acting role came in the film's Stepfanie Kramer, Darlanne Fluegel, and Lauren Lane. Dryer appeared in Death Before Dishonor, as well as Mike Land in the television series Land's End (21 episodes, 1995–1996).
In 1998, he portrayed the Police Chief in Diagnosis: murder.
He portrayed Sgt. Rock appeared on Justice League during his time as a rookie.
Dryer was seen in a Netflix commercial for SMS research firm in January 2009, obliquely referring to his NFL record of two safeties in a game from 1973. In addition, the dryer is now a spokeswoman for Injury Solutions.
He appeared in the drag racing film Snake and Mongoose, which depicts Don "The Snake" Prudhomme and Tom "The Mongoose" McEwen's rivalry and their groundbreaking achievements in drag racing. Dryer performed "Ed Donovan," McEwen's engine builder who coined the term "Mongoose."
Dryer debuted in the NBC series Crisis in 2014. In an episode of Agents of S.H.I.L.D., Dryer joined the ranks of the Marvel Cinematic Universe in 2015. On October 23, 2018, he appeared on CBS' NCIS as a Vietnam veteran.
In the second season of the animated "Adult Swim" show "Frisky Dingo," the dryer was consistently mentioned. Xander Crews, a series protagonist on an ill-advised presidential bid, looks to Fred Dryer as a potential running mate for the Vice President. The film follows an animated version of a real Dryer trading card from his time with the Rams and often refers to his fictional role in the series Hunter.
