I once locked eyes with him at the Austin airport as I walked past the bar where he was passing the time. As soon as the squint of recognition hit my face he stuck his tongue out me, I chuckled and continued on my way.

Honestly, that’s a good age to die.

Well damn, I just watched Secondhand Lions with my children this weekend.

I hope I can live as long as him. What a great number of years.

Incredible movie that doesn't get the recognition or following it deserves. He was especially fantastic.

Damn 2026 has been brutal for the stars already.

I thought he was in Falling Down but that was his second cousin.

Not according to IMDB.

Ah shoot I must have been reading cross-eyed earlier. Went to look on google and his cousin Wayne Duvall is billed way higher up. Paramedic has a higher billing than Pendergrast. His cousin played a paramedic probably thanks to a big shot Hollywood family connection.

If I had a nickel for every time I mixed up two actors. 😆
