Sad to report that Wilford Brimley has taken the final flight to the planet Antarea from Cocoon.
As recounted here, I met Mr. Brimley and we were seated near each other at a banquet. In between takes, he'd chat up the waitresses and used his line from Cocoon, "Blue Steel. A cat couldn't scratch it." We scammed one of the above flyers, I only wish I'd gotten it autographed.
I'm one of the hardhats at the 30 sec. mark who gets in a tussle until saved by Charles Bronson, and I'm at the congratulatory banquet at the 1:13 mark but good luck espying me.
I think I'll start watch a bit of 遊星からの物体X (The Thing) before I turn in.
RiP Wilford, you defender of Endor!
