Wilford Brimley

Anthony Wilford Brimley (born September 27, 1934, died August 1, 2020) is an American actor and occasionally singer who has appeared in films and television series. His trademark mustache, accent and brusque delivery made Brimley very recognizable, but forthrightness on screen was on occasion matched by bluntness on set when his interpretation of a character was being faulted. Brimley's weather beaten appearance enabled him to be convincing as someone decades older in the highly successful Cocoon (1985).
