Legendary actor,real uncle/niece sex videos writer, and comedian Fred Willard died on Friday at the age of 86.
He may be best known to 2020 audiences for his role on Modern Family, where he played Phil's dad Frank. But Willard has a long history in Hollywood, including a lengthy and creatively productive relationship with mockumentary master Christopher Guest.
Willard's career started in the New York City comedy scene of the 1950s, where he first made a name for himself as one half of a comedy duo alongside Vic Grecco. He later performed with Second City in Chicago and co-founded the improv comedy troupe, Ace Trucking Company, which logged numerous appearances on The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson.
Willard's profile had only grown by the end of the '70s, when a role on the comedy series Mary Hartman, Mary Hartmanlanded him a starring role (alongside Martin Mull) on the spin-off Fernwood 2 Night, and a couple others that followed.
All of which is to say that Willard was already a well-known name among comedy lovers by the time he made his first big splash in the Rob Reiner-directed mockumentary This is Spinal Tap, which was co-written by Guest. He then went on to appear in Guest's greatest subsequent hits, including the dog show farce Best in Show; the folk music riff on Spinal Tap, A Mighty Wind; and the homespun local theater send-up, Waiting for Guffman(among others).
Willard's film and TV credits in general capture an unimaginably wide cross-section of entertainment from the past 60 years. He had roles in the first Austin Powers, Harold & Kumar Go To White Castle, and Anchorman. He lent his voice to WALL-E. On TV, his credits include appearances on The Bob Newhart Show, Laverne & Shirley, Married... With Children, Family Matters, Roseanne, Murphy Brown, Mad About You, The Simpsons, and Modern Family(among many others).
Willard kept on working right up to the end. He will next appear in a recurring role on Netflix's upcoming series Space Force, from Steve Carell and Greg Daniels (of The Officeand Parks and Recreationfame).
A large community of friends, fans, and colleagues stepped up swiftly to pay tribute to Willard on social media in the hours after his death, attributed to natural causes, was confirmed.
