His Wikidata infobox shows him as being educated at Julliard School. Any support for this?-- Artaxerxes ( talk) 17:05, 2 August 2020 (UTC) reply

I spent roughly 20 minutes researching this topic, looking through several articles about him, and could not find any evidence or source to support it. I do not believe this is accurate. Some of everything ( talk) 02:38, 6 August 2020 (UTC) reply

Please feel free to remove this information. Any information without a source can be challenged and removed. This is especially true when you have investigated and believe the statement to be untrue. ‡ Єl Cid of Valencia ^talk 03:34, 6 August 2020 (UTC) reply

While trying to find out why Brimley was dropped by Quaker Oats, I saw this article from The Washington Post where Brimley is suing Hardee's and Ogilvy for $10 million. Should this be included in the article? FunksBrother ( talk) 00:42, 3 August 2020 (UTC) reply

I think this would be relevant for inclusion, but I would say that another source should be used, if available, as that article just lists a blurb about it. Update - I found a short Chicago Tribune article with this same information, but I can't find anything else about the case or its disposition (I didn't look THAT hard but I did look). I am wary of adding just "In 1993, Brimely filed a lawsuit against Hardee's" without being able to say what the result was. But if you want to include it, I can't imagine anyone would have strong objections. Cheers ‡ Єl Cid of Valencia ^talk 13:30, 4 August 2020 (UTC) reply

Millions of Star Wars fans know him primarily as Noa from the spinoff movie Ewoks. How is this not even mentioned once? Alexandermoir ( talk) 03:30, 20 May 2023 (UTC) reply

It is listed in the Filmography > Television section. Solomon Ucko ( talk) 05:12, 20 May 2023 (UTC) reply

apparent uncredited camio , i know it ws him if not it was his doppler ganger,, Yellowstone season 4 eps 5 , the boy, he has a unmistakeable voice and manerism 73.152.94.193 ( talk) 04:09, 19 February 2024 (UTC) reply

He had an acting career that lasted 40-50 years, yet he always played older people. Is this true, or did he ever play a younger person? It just seems odd to play an older person for so long. Viriditas ( talk) 19:52, 14 July 2024 (UTC) reply
