Actor/Comedian Fred Willard has died. He was 86. I enjoyed a lot of his movies. I didn't know he was that old.

I first remember seeing him on "Real People", like 40 years ago. He certainly stayed busy acting well longer than most. A funny guy. RIP, and prayers for loved ones.

Fred Willard was brilliant, i loved him in the Christopher Guest movies and he was perfectly cast as Phil's dad on Modern Family.

Jimmy Kimmel's entire show last night was a tribute to Fred, who made regular appearances on the show.

Here's a lovely article about his relationship with Jimmy Kimmel Live. (https://www.latimes.com/entertainment/tv/la-et-st-fred-willard-jimmy-kimmel-20190516-story.html)

Thanks, tbsfan. 😊 I saw Kimmel last night and enjoyed their tribute. Fred Willard was always a favorite of mine, too.
LA Times article was great! Thanks again!
