Brolin has really grown as an actor. Remember watching him in Hollow Man and thinking that he couldn't act to save his life and now, holy shit.

[@user-ik8ok9qh2u]

The guys a beast, always enjoy his performances.

[@stevemuzak8526]

Goonies is such a unique movie. One of a kind.

its a perfect film

I've been thinking about the Goonies for awhile the Asian guy from everything all at once and the Loki series is the gadget kid from Goonies and he's been killing it lately all those guys had real careers

Grew up on the Oregon Coast that movie, Stand By Me, and Overboard are Oregon classics.

Na uh!

[@mind-numbingtasks1575]

James Brolin was such a great actor, Capicorn 1, Westworld, Amytyville Horror,...... I grew up with his movies. I like all of Josh Brolin's movies too.

[@jcaashby3]

The CAR!

[@mind-numbingtasks1575]

@@jcaashby3 , yeah!, (The Car) also, that's actually one of my favorite horror movies as a kid.

[@KaosandRiot]

Met his dad while stationed at El Toro in the 90s, training pilots and aircrew in flight physiology and water survival. He was getting ready to start filming Wings of Gold Pensacola. He was a genuinely nice down to earth guy. He thought our jobs were way more interesting than being an actor. Spent the day teaching him and then he asked us about our jobs and careers Mother in law at the time was ecstatic because I got pictures and an autograph for her. She was a Marcus Welty fan

What a fascinating guy. He's giving off a mix of Harrison Ford and Paul Newman vibes. Josh is one of those actors that, if he's in something, I want to see it.

[@smokinjoe45]

I think Josh is terrific. Not just because he's in "No Country For Old Men" one of my all time favourite films, but also because he seems like such a no bullshit kinda guy. It seems like he could care less about the celebrity of being an actor.

[@dqz6591]

Couldn't* think

One of the few actors today that makes me want to watch the movie.

[@maskedmotorsdiy3575]

Back in 1977, even the TV commercial for "The Car" gave me nightmares and I was still a few years away from actually watching the movie. James was rather good in that flick.

[@zuesaka1164]

Good movie.

+2 on the nightmares from “The Car”. Scared the crap out of me as a kid. It took me 30 years to watch it again lol.

Josh was amazing in the Highway to Heaven TV show. He was in an episode with a young Paul Walker in the episode

[@fordshaw5833]

Mr Brolin, thanks for all the brilliant characters you performed, I enjoyed the films. My complement to you and every other actor, I leave you in peace when I see you in public. Pray others do the same.

[@joesphanthony6372]

I love Josh in Nightwatch. If you want to see his capabilities as an actor, I highly recommend it. When i first seen it I wasnt sure if his character was A great friend with a twisted sense of humor or a fn psychopath and just his acting alone would've won that film some great awards had it came out 10 years before or after its time. All the teen scream flicks overshadowed a real great plot and great film.

[@fredlandry6170]

I still remember him in The Young Riders.

[@fatsuperfly]

He is pretty amazing when he gets in front of that camera, always wondered about him. He very smart and his intuition is great, and I do believe he went in to stocks. If you have a good sum, you can make something. He’s a real smart dude, that’s doing it his own way. Much respect my friend!

[@mm9773]

Love the ending.

[@SteelToes]

I was pumped for Mr. Sterling. I hadn't seen much of him for a while and was stoked to see him act weekly. I didn't know he hated the part. We are around the same age and just knew he was a rebel at heart... I believe that's one reason I liked him.

[@user-fo1yz4qk6e]

"Back to The Beach" is a classic. It's one of those perfect 80's movies. Would have been great to add to his movie list.

[@30AndHatingIt]

Dude has such an intense / intimidating presence, but seems really cool at the same time. Loved the joke at the end haha. Also, what the hall is this video doing with only 30k views???

This guys a legend he took down hook from the daggers.

[@makingthecoin3647]

Grew up in downtown Brooklyn in the 70s. They did some scenes block away for a BARBRA STREISAND movie her bus parked outside our place. Then amazingly same spot they came and did scenes in the corner subway station for JAMES BROLIN movie called SHORT WALK TO DAYLIGHT many years later they retitled it for TV to Trapped he played a policeman. Took photos and got his autograph. Story is earthquake occurs in NYC while Brolin and others trapped undergrown. Stallone decades later redid it.

[@jimpatterson1111]

It will be interesting to see when he does get an Oscar. It’s in the bag, just a matter of when. Excellent actor

[@cowboysfan782008]

I grew up a lot like Josh. Divorced parents, super stud dad, bad elements of So CA (He was No CA), etc. Was born in 68' like Josh, Tony, and Bill Burr, and relate to Bill and Josh big time. We were the kids playing little league in 1976 when Bad News Bears came out. Was the tough love era, and you had to be tough!

[@user-rt9zq8rs9k]

His dad made some great movies that weren't big Blockbusters but should have been . One of the best summer movies is HIGH RISK . Siskel and Ebert rated it both thumbs up (when they did their show on PBS) and I still can't get a decent Blu-ray copy of . It's a great action movie with a top notch cast .

That’s crazy I just realized he played the older brother on goonies I didn’t know after all this years wow crazy

[@barrellracer]

GOONIES NEVER SAY DIE ❤❤❤

[@kentallard8852]

the stock trading makes sense - he had a movie and the series he mentioned Mister Sterling in 2003, one movie in 2004, a pilot and an episode of Into the West and the movie Into the Blue in 2005, one movie in 2006, and then in 2007 its Grindhouse and No Country and Valley of Elah and Grindhouse. People talk about the 'McConaissance' but perhaps 2007 should be considered the Brolushion?

[@masterofallgoons]

No Country for Old Men happened off the back of Grindhouse though, right? Not exactly out of nowhere. Getting that gig must have felt like a pretty big deal at the time. And I'm sure having an audition tape directed by Tarantino with Robert Rodriguez as DP didn't hurt his chances at being cast.

[@drunvert]

😊

[@ToastyBB]

Any time an actor talks about how they got a role it's always "somehow I got lucky and they gave it to me". Never a "well I worked with so and so a year back and needed a job so they gave it to me"

[@drunvert]

@@ToastyBB it's probably both, but yeah, You might not get the leading role, but they can put you in any movie they want to

[@user-vf2rz3yq1b]

Big fan of Mr. Brolin... As he points out, his passion comes from the art of film making as to his acknowledgments of "Raging Bull" etc... Who doesn't want to be rich & travel the world, or even modestly wealthy for that matter. Like any good monkey, boy or girl, there is no secret talent or trick to developing confidence to actually become an actor who can be humble & vulnerable simultaneously. IN fact, this is the journey of the human race. Now... On the other hand, to get paid to be oneself & have every & any privilege the world has to offer... Well... Who would turn that down. The courageous actor of old has faded away with the stardom of clicks & likes... Even kitty cats can get millions of clicks with a little trickery on KZbin. Imagine that... Many young actors today do not even know who Sydney Poitier is... As nepotism has taken over Hollywood, we have more mediocrity than ever seen since silent movies. As Mark Twain wrote... "We all live in the protection of certain cowardices which we call our principles."

[@dsa513]

Yeah but kittens don't get royalties. Only titties do 😂😂😂

[@tlee4218]

I am so not up to date that I did not even know James Brolin had a son. Wow. Love him. I have seen some of his movies.respect totally his acting.. but never knew the connection. He is a great character. Seems very different from his dad. Playing him would be a challenge and interesting. Now for human curiosity I want to know who he hangs with of anyone in the Hollywood world. What actors does he respect the most now days?

[@the1common1man]

The Car is one of my favorite movies. However, I still like Brolin Jr. better than the senior.

His performance in W. was f**king brilliant

[@Brian-uy2tj]

The movie "Back to the Beach" was a very funny movie poking fun at all of the 50's and 60's beach blanket movies etc. My favorite scene........ Frankie Avalon is sitting at the bar, crying to the bartender, "Oh, Annette doesn't love me anymore...." Well, the bartender is Bob Denver, Gilligan from Gilligans Island and he had one of the funniest lines I've ever heard in a movie, EVER. He says " You think you have it bad? Well, I was stuck on a desert Island for 20 years with a professor who could take two halves of a coconut and a vine and build a nuclear reactor......... but he couldn't patch a two foot hole in a boat!" I almost dies laughing. I loved Gilligans Island but that one line put it all in perspective.
