  Agreed! An epic film and an actor perfect for that role.

    I always wanted to be on a farm. My dad wanted me to be a ball player.

RIP. Only 85? He was 49 years old when he played a senior citizen in Cocoon.

His scene in Absence of Malice was great. Wish I could find the whole thing in one clip:

  I thought he was older than that, too.

      Like Sparky Anderson. He looked 65 for 4 decades.

        That right there is accurate. He always looked old then he finally grew into it.

  I think he was born old. Heck, how old was he in the grumpy oatmeal commercials?

  I don't believe illusions because too much is for real.

    Think he was 52 in this one...

    After the success of Cocoon...I think everyone just assumed he was 70.
