I thought he died 20 years ago.
RIP.
Eve : What was that?
O'Malley: I should have sold you when I had the chance.
Supported mccain 2008. Ex marine.
He advertised for Lance Campers with the famous line, “I’m outta here”.
He endorsed McCain in 2008. I assume a communist would have endorsed Obama.
Someone once dumped a Yorkie by my house with a bag of trash
One look at him and I named him Brimley
Uncanny resemblance
“I don’t want to stay out here anymore. I want to come back inside.”
Freegards, RIP
I used to get him mixed up with Euell Gibbons.
“Ever eat a Pine Tree? Many parts ARE edible!”
Requiescat in pace
I knowwww. He was only about 49 or 50 when he played a senior citizen in Cocoon.
Years ago men were older when they were younger...
The Thing...good call awesome movie.
Don Imus’ show did Wilford Brimley parody ads for Quaker Oats that are priceless.
“I’m Wilford Brimley and I have Diabetus” is a classic.
The great comedic talents are leaving us one by one. Soon we shall follow them.
RIP, a great actor.
One of the finest scenes ever filmed, from a movie that is even more relevant today than when it was made, “Absence of Malice”.

I can’t count the number of times I’ve posted this clip since the hoax witch-hunt began. We need a Wilford Brimley to re-enat this scene with Strozk, Page, Comey, McCabe, and the rest.
The icing on the cake is the scene that comes next, when the smartass US attorney says he’s not quitting:

He was also good in Absence of Malice
Wilford was 45 in The China Syndrome, probably the last time he looked close to his age.
He was great in every role he played...
Was it the diabeetus that we all knew he had?
>>vI knowwww. He was only about 49 or 50 when he played a senior citizen in Cocoon.
At 49 Hollywood puts you out to pasture.
They have 25 year olds playing high school students.
Might as well play retirees at 49. You can have a good 40 year run in that role.
