He had such a unique accent. I couldn’t place it so years ago I looked it up. He was born in Massachusetts!

I was just thinking about him the other day, how this bone on bone knee makes me walk more like him when he was on The Real McCoy's.
We may know the time Ben Carson lied, but does anyone know the time Hillary Clinton told the truth?

I read he lost his teeth in a car wreck at a young age and had a set of false teeth so he always looked a lot older than he really was. He was one of my favorite actors. Quite a man. Of course his generation was a lot different than the ones that followed.

He was also on a TV show called the Real Macoys! That is the first thing that comes to my mind when his name is mentioned. They don't make wholesome shows like that, and The Andy Griffith Show etc anymore.

I used to watch The Real McCoys. Granddaddy Amos.
They moved from West Virginia to northern California. I guess they were the predecessors of the Beverly Hillbillies.

Back in the 60s I used to do Walter Brennan imitation to try to get laughs.
I was big fan.
I recently read about him what is available on the internet.
Acting was just to fill in for him being a businessman.
He was co producing the real mccoys.
In the 60s he thought negroes were happy, just being stirred up by agitators in the US.
Despite not planning on show biz, his career was amough the longest.
One of my favorite movies was Support Your Local Sheriff, a comedy where Walter was he top bad guy.
Knowing what I do now, I am guessing he helped write some of his lines, like reminding the in laws he was helping them with their mortgages.

I always thought he had an accident later in life and thats why he had that limp
but it was an act. For whatever reason, he added a limp to some of his characters.
Odd decision but he was a great actor.

Odd decision but he was a great actor. I heard years ago, maybe even him being interviewed, that for the Real McCoys he put a couple of small pebbles in his shoe to make him limp around like he did.

He was also on a TV show called the Real Macoys! Grandpappy Amos McCoy!
if a man speaks, and there isn't a woman around to hear him, is he still wrong?
