Dead.

[Peak and Pine]

Wilfred Brimley, at 112 or something. Brimley was very good at playing roles that called for uncompromising, grumpy old a-holes. Unfortunately there aren't that many so most of the time he came across as thoroughly unpleasant. Unless you needed diabetic supplies, which he hocked on tee vee forever and which in turn kept him in beer and marmalade. He was not a thin man. RIP

Or Quaker Oats. His role in Cocoon was great, too.

Yes, forgot about Cacoon. And one of my favorite films of all time, The Natural. First encountered him in a sweet liile short-lived NBC show called Our House in the late 80s. But beyond those, he wore on me.

He was the Postmaster General. And, by God, generals get things done!

The amazing thing was, he almost always played characters who were, in some cases, considerably older than he was! He was 85 when he died.

With perhaps 40 movies to his credit and I don't know how many TV and advertising appearances he made, Wilfred Brimley was quite the accomplished actor...I won't even try to pick a favorite. Wilfred Brimley, may he rest in peace!.
