Bill Cobbs. Prolific actor and with his easy, laid back style, always enjoyable to watch.

[@andyroid5028]

Agreed. He was such a great actor (he was so 'believable'). R.I.P., Bill.

[@ezekielfortychurchfortychu8506]

Bill Cobbs the Man who shot Nino Brown [New Jack City]

[@Philip_LasVegas]

Loved Bill Cobbs .. he was great

[@user-hi4vg9te9s]

R.I.P Mr. Bill Cobbs! You were such an amazing actor! 😢😢😢😢

[@AgentGibbs]

He was my parents favorite actor and has been in over 100 shows. This is why I view the Legacy tribute every week now and the one TCM makes at the end of the year, both the best source knowing when a well known actor or actress have passed away.

[@user-gj6yq5qy8b]

" I know what you did last summer " , I ❤ed him in that movie too

[@virginiaconnor8350]

I think Cobbs also played Dr. Erikson on "Enterprise". I thank him-and other veterans who served in our military as my dad was an Army veteran and my brother is a Navy veteran as well.

[@MrCaprinut]

I remember him best from I'll fly away. Great actor!

[@ShadowYamoto]

He was in my favorite Laurence Fishburne movie Always Outnumbered, RIP Bill Cobbs.

[@sweethaven5]

Mr Cobbs was great in Night in the Museum, along with Dick Van Dyke and Mickey Rooney. R.I.P. 😢❤🙏🏼

[@sophiaclark376]

Yes! 👏

[@TJTurnage]

That’s the first thing I thought of too!

[@ArcoirisDeZebulon]

[@CatholickMuhBallsCricket]

I liked him in The Sopranos. He was good as Bill Cosbys dad in The Cosby Show

[@amrox9923]

RIP Spencer Milligan. I was a big fan of Land of The Lost when I was a child.

[@duanesealy3592]

[@kimberlywiederhold627]

I was also a fan of the show. I liked the family closeness portrayed.

[@gynandroidhead]

Me too.

[@dm1969able]

Yes it was definitely one of my favorite shows as a child.😢

[@fletchkeilman2205]

[@ksw501]

It’s interesting to note that many of the men who passed away that were in their 80’s were veterans of the United States military. Tomorrow marks the one year anniversary of my father’s death, he was a veteran of the armed forces having attained the rank of captain in the US Army. I have so much respect for all those who have served their country. May they all rest in peace.

[@sublegelibertas]

Thank you for sharing. I'm sorry for your loss. Your father’s service and dedication as a captain in the US Army is truly commendable. It's important to honor and remember the sacrifices made by all veterans. Their contributions have shaped our nations, and we owe them our deepest gratitude. May your father and all who have served rest in peace.

[@Cateutopia]

Bill Cobbs was a great actor. I remember his role in New Jack City among his many roles. He lived long, 90 years is a beautiful age. May he rest in peace. 🙏🏾

[@loriparks8657]

Yessss ! The ending of that movie was epic ! With him portraying his part in the movie .

[@DianeHobbs-op4ym]

Rest in peace, Bill Cobbs. He was an outstanding actor. I loved him in everything he played in. Continue to rest in peace, Michael Jackson and Farrah Fawcett. May everyone here rest in peace.

[@nongthip]

Just a personal side-note. Thank you to this channel for being respectful and non-judgmental on causes of death. Some people die of natural causes and others die with long-term or unexpected illness or for personal reasons. Everyone has their own story, public or private, so it's commendable to respect each individual circumstance. RIP to all.

The loss of Bill Cobbs really hurts. He nailed every role he was in and brought authenticity to the character. May he rest in peace. 😢

[@blakemrolfsensanchez547]

He was an amazing actor. Give him a role and he could do it in his sleep.

[@jodyamnpurrier-killingbeck1147]

R.I.P. Bill Cobbs. Loved his performance alongside Mark Harmon in For All Time. 90 years is a great run.

[@g.g.2620]

I ran into Bill Cobbs several times at a restaurant in Rancho Cucamonga, CA and we’d casually have a drink. One of the nicest gentlemen I’ve ever met.

[@johndoh5479]

Loved Bill Cobbs in everything he did; he made whatever he was in better. I knew he was getting up there in age and would check from time to time if he was still alive (and feel good about it). Very sorry to learn of his passing. Thanks for a respectful send off.

[@socalemeraldaztecanrhino922]

8:25 - 8:58 RIP to Mr. Cobbs. I'll never forget that he was the kinder and more wiser replacement coach in Air Bud. He also had a part as the boyfriend of the grandmother of Shawn and Marlon on the TV show The Wayans Bros. Great underappreciated thespian he was. 😔👏👏👏 So long, sir.

[@visualverbs]

Bill Cobbs was one of my favorite actors. Been admiring that gentleman since the 1970s. RIP, gentle soul.

The Lurie Children’s Hospital saved my life when I was 24 hours old and again when I was 13 months old. I had to have 2 heart surgeries when I was 24 hours old and again when I was 13 months old.

I remember Mr. Cobbs in an episode of " Designing Women" . The ladies were trying to think of a birthday present Anthony might like. They knew he never met his father and they found him figuring it would be a great surprise. Cobbs played him.

[@spiritthingw]

So sad, so many suicides, the industry needs to address this. Whether an actor, singer, artist, sports etc. It's not the life people think it is. It takes so many😢

[@dhutch457]

Thank you, Linnea, nice to have you back with us. Hopefully next week's video will include Al Schultz, makeup artist on many top television shows. He was also the husband of actress & singer, Vicki Lawrence.
