Wilford Brimley’s Insane Luck

Wilford Brimley is one of those actors that simply dazzle with their roles. With his strongman demeanor, imposing attitude, and, of course, walrus mustache, who could forget the fishing scene in the alien film Cocoon or his confrontation with Tom Cruise’s character in the suspense film The Firm? Wilford Brimley’s path to Hollywood stardom was quite unique. He began work as a bodyguard for many important people, the most notable of which was the business mogul Howard Hughes, Jr. He also spent time as a blacksmith and a ranch hand before trying it out as the guy who shoes horses in films. After this, seeing that Wilford Brimley was really a tough individual who’s willing to do the dirty work, his friend and great actor, Robert Duvall, prodded him to work as a stunt man for “Old West” films. Luckily, his persistence paid off, and he would soon land other roles that would have him pitted with Hollywood’s best.
