I’m watching Ewoks: The Battle for Endor today in his memory. 🙂

RIP
So he played a senior citizen in 'Cocoon' when he was only in his fifties?

RIP So he played a senior citizen in 'Cocoon' when he was only in his fifties? 49 for some of it. Cocoon filmed from August 20-November 1, 1984. Brimley turned 50 on September 27 that year.

For comparison, Don Ameche was 76 and Hume Cronyn was 73, and the other actors playing the senior citizens all had 20 years on him. To be fair, Brimley did have to dye his hair and mustache white and have some slight age makeup applied, so it wasn't all down to him looking old beyond his years. Still, Keanu Reeves and Paul Rudd he was not.

I always thought that he died years ago or was much older. RIP. In The Thing and Cocoon he looked to be in his mid-60s, but was only 48 during the filming of the former and 50 in the latter. Dude looked much older than he was for a very long time. Yeah, he's like Arn Anderson and to a lesser extent TV's Frank from MST3k ... they've always looked older then they actually were.

He's one of the "textbook" answers I'd give for a guy that looked 60 years old for 50 years.
Dude was entertaining. Hell, he made memorable boring commercials. That's a true feat.
