Gruesome Son of a Bitch 6,476 Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 He was the Bigfoot guy in Close Encounters, Ohpa in the Amazing Stories pilot, the old timer in the shack in Always and Kevin's neighbor in Home Alone. Williams composed a lot of music for him!I confused him with the grail knight in Last Crusade when I was a kid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BLUMENKOHL 1,064 Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 I remember his story in Home Alone made me cry a little when I first saw it as a 10 year old in theaters. He just had one of those faces that make you go...aww man I wish I could give that guy a hug. He was one of the best things about that movie, despite his incy wincy tiny role.RIP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
