RIP Fred Willard

[Jr.]

Willard passed away on Friday. I hadn't heard about it until I saw an article on The Ringer about him. One of my favorite comedic actors of all-time. His dead-pan style was so perfect and I don't know that I've laughed more at a movie than the first time I saw Best In Show.

Re: RIP Fred Willard

He actually was in Spinal Tap and has a simple, but dead pan line in that movie (one I still use to this day). Seems like they worked him in to several of their movies. He played a great side kick to Martin Mull in "Fernwood Tonight" and later "America Tonight".

Love his humor, Best of Show was a classic for me. He was great too as Phil’s dad in Modern Family. Gonna watch best of show today

Re: RIP Fred Willard

I first saw him in Fernwood 2 Night (later America 2 Night) back in the 70s. Every now in then he'd pop up as Phil's father in Modern Family.

RIP Fred.
