He was great as the Postmaster on Seinfeld.
I didn’t know he was still alive.
Great roles in the Firm and the Natural. Also played an Admiral in one of Tom Clancy’s made for TV movies (not part of the Jack Ryan series).
Quaker Oats. and The Firm.

Usually, you are surprised to learn how old a certain actor is when he dies - but I thought Brimley was 85 about 30 years ago.
He was 51 when he made Cocoon, four years younger than Brad Pitt is now. And Carroll O’Connor was in his 40s when he started on All in the Family.
Ah, my singer friend will be singing at Brimley’s funeral if they can have one. They’ve been friends for many years.
Wilfred was a commie, btw.
Strolled by the 21 table about 10 years ago, and Wilford was having fun and nursing a drink. He was happy and flirting with the dealer. I’ll remember him that way.
The Firm. “I get paid to be suspicious when I’ve got nothing to be suspicious about”.
He certainly looked it in The China Syndrome.
Where was this at?
“Wilfred was a commie, btw.”
His name is Wilford and he was a Republican.
newsweek is the source? I won’t believe it
yeah, he did great in that little bit :)
A kind and good man. RIP kind sir.
