I hate to hear that. I always called him The Walrus.

 

[mattjames2010]

Part of one of the greatest horror movies ever made The Thing

 

[The Ominous]

Part of one of the greatest horror movies ever made The Thing

My overall favorite film of his for sure.

 

[CouchCoach]

He was great in "The Natural" and while he wasn't a major player in "Absence of Malice", he stole the show. Great character actor and his part in "The Firm" was a departure for him and he loved playing the bad guy,

I always thought the coolest thing about him was he looked just like his name, Wilford Brimley. Another one was Walter Matthau.

I'll be honest. I thought he passed away several years ago.

RIP, Mr. Brimley.

He was looking like a man in his 80's in that movie

The Ticket had his stepdaughter on. She thought he was older than her grandparents, haha. She shared a lot of interesting stories.

He was a homeless alcoholic when Howard Hughes stepped on him when he was laying in the street and that's how he got started
Sober for 46 years and went to AA meetings every week
Looked way older than he was due to the alcoholism
