LOS ANGELES – Wilford Brimley, who worked his way up from stunt performer to star of film such as"Cocoon" and"The Natural," has died. He was 85.
The mustached Brimley was a familiar face for a number of roles, often playing gruff characters like his grizzled baseball manager in"The Natural." "Wilford Brimley was a man you could trust," Bensky said in a statement."He said what he meant and he meant what he said. He had a tough exterior and a tender heart. I'm sad that I will no longer get to hear my friend's wonderful stories. He was one of a kind."
A Utah native, Brimley’s Hollywood career started in the late 1960s as a stuntman, where he forged a friendship with Robert Duvall. Duvall’s encouragement led Brimley to seek more prominent acting roles and his career took off after his appearance in 1979’s"The China Syndrome," according to a biography prepared by Turner Classic Movies.
Many blessings, prayer of comfort
