RIP Wilford Brimley

I'm sorry to hear that.
RIP
 
He was great in the Tom Selleck western Crossfire Trail, and the 1920's era set High Road To China. Ron Howard was talking on how Brimley was like a gruff uncle on the set of Cocoon, and wanted to improvise more in his role.

Great character actor that was like a small bottle of Tabasco. You didn't need much of it to make a hell of an impression.

"Its the right thing to do!"
 
I agree, he was a great actor. What a distinct voice. Last of the Dogmen was narrated by him and was much better for it.

Godspeed Wilford.
 
Ever read about the inspiration for that movie (Who Goes There? 1938). Very interesting back story.

Yeah, John Carpenter’s The Thing is my favorite combination sci-fi/horror movie.

In all the roles I’ve seen him in, Wilford Brimley only ever needed to be himself to make a big impression; no overacting needed.

R.I.P.
