“Check your blood sugar, and CHECK IT OFTEN!”

This line always kind of rattled me when this stern, mustachioed grandpa would fire it off during those commercials back in the day.

This guy was playing the old man since the day I was born 1978, and my whole life he has looked identical.

I'm assuming he was born with that mustache.

Literally every movie or commercial, he looked exactly the same. Going to miss him.

No mustache in The Thing, where he had one of the greatest freakout moments in cinema history. Check it out here - One of his best roles ever.

I've seen The Thing many times. He was great in the film, but they had to shave his mustache between each take as it grew back to it's natural formation with gusto. That's a little-known true story (by MSM standards).

I just watched an older movie called Blood River. Kind of a "B" movie. Brimley saved it.

RIP Mr. Brimley

My favorite role was AAG in Absence of Malice. The kind of person needed in the swamp.

Absence of Malice and 10 to Midnight are two underrated Wilford Brimley performances. The latter is a Charles Bronson film about executing rapists if you needed any more encouragement.

Had I ever met him

I feel this. One of my grandfathers died before I was born, the other died when I was 1 year old. I never really "met" either of them.

I only knew 1 of my 4 grandparents; the rest did before I was born. I missed my paternal grandfather by just a matter of months. My maternal grandmother was the youngest of them and was around until I was in my 20s. Also, they were all born in the 19th century.

Was great in 'The Thing' from 1982. One of my favorite movies. Also in 'Absence of Malice' when he ass-rapes Bob Balaban's character (not literally).
