I always liked that guy. RIP Jack.

I first remember seeing him in Problem Child. He was the grumpy grandfather and sporting goods store owner.

He also played a part in The Replacements, the movie based on the 87 Skins.

RIP Jack.

No, it wasn't based on the '87 Skins, it was based on the '87 Skins.

Yes.

Does anybody have any idea where they got the idea for the movie "The Replacements"?

I think it was the '87 skins.

I feel so old, but how can anyone not call him, "Coach Buttermaker."

RIP Jack.

I thought Walter Matthau was Coach Buttermaker?

He was. Jack Warden played Max Corkle, a trainer for the Rams in Heaven Can Wait. He was nominated for an Oscar for that role.

Not on the TV show he wasn't... that was Jack Warden without a doubt... that's who he always was to me... Morris Buttermaker

Ha ha ha ha. You're right! I had totally forgotten about the TV series. That was back in the day when TV shows were created based on movies. Now it's the other way around.

He was good in that movie. I never would have seen it, had I not been required to in my heavy senior-year class, Introductory to Film. So was the original version, which we also watched in that class, but whose name I cannot remember.

This movie is a remake of the 1941 film Here Comes Mr. Jordan.

I googled it yesterday to find out his character's name in the movie, so it was easy to go back.
