Actor Born: September 27, 1934 in Salt Lake City, UT Biography:With varied rugged experiences ranging from blacksmith to horse trainer, portly, handlebar-mustached Wilford Brimley entered films in the 1960s as a cowboy stunt man. Save for a few billed appearances on TV cowboy series like "Gunsmoke", Brimley worked primarily in supporting roles until finally achieving star status in the 1980s via his gruff, fatherly roles in such films as "The Thing" (1981), "Hotel New Hampshire" (1984), "The Natural" (1984) and "Cocoon" (1986). On television, Wilford Brimley starred in the 1980s family dramedy Our House. In addition to his film and television work, Brimley worked for a time as the commercial spokesperson for the Quaker Oats company. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
