About Wilford Brimley
- Anthony Wilford Brimley (born September 27, 1934) is an American actor and singer.
- After serving in the Marines and doing a variety of jobs including ranch hand and wrangler, Brimley became an extra for Westerns, and in little more than a decade he had established himself as a character actor in films such as The China Syndrome (1979), The Thing (1982) and The Natural (1984).
- His trademark mustache, accent and brusque delivery made Brimley 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 film Cocoon (1985). Brimley was the long-time face of television advertisements for the Quaker Oats Company.
- He has also promoted diabetes education and appeared in related commercials for Liberty Medical.
