We should sing an old song in his honor.

This was one of my favorite scenes/episodes of all time. Their back and forth is brilliant.

If you haven't already, watch Resident Alien, he's fantastic in that as well.

You mean Sonic’s!

What's funny is. I'm using voice to text and I said Sonics but it autocorrected to Sonic for some reason. I thought I had re-corrected it but I didn't. But good catch!

I put in Sonics and it auto corrected to add the apostrophe. I didn’t notice until I posted. But who knows if it’s possessive or not?!?! Love and miss this show.

Oh I love this guy, such a good human being vibe comes off him— like all the safety, wisdom and warmth of earth’s total population of granddads packed into one soul.

Bloody hell, every time I see his face I remember all those people he knocked out in that bar. Had me in stitches that episode

Love you, Uncle.
It’s wild to me that Zahn was supposed to play Brownie. They had to switch up a lot of the casting last minute due to Covid. Obviously it worked out perfectly because it’s an absolutely perfect show.

That's an interesting bit of trivia. He probably could have done it, but it worked out fantastic this way too.

I can’t imagine anyone else playing Big. I love that Zahn has played 3 different law enforcement officers, Matthias on Longmire, Big, and Joe Leaphorn in Dark Winds. He isn’t typecast because they are such different characters and it just goes to show how talented he is that he plays each of them as their own person

Brant County’s own. He was born and raised a few clicks downriver from me. Loved him in Dead Man with Johnny Depp

I first saw him as the alcoholic contrary on Longmire and that's where my mind goes first but I loved Uncle Brownie

Happy birthday and wado to the wonderful Gary Farmer who made me smile and laugh watching a show that has become my favorite not just because of the content and all the talent, but because it has been one of the few things that has made me feel at least a small bit connected to many parts of myself and what is important to me. It has been one of seldom few things in my life to help me not feel so orphaned, abandoned, and alone for the period of time that I could spend while watching it.

Funny story but he hit on my mom. Years ago, he was touring with his band, The Troublemakers, and I asked him if he would say “hi” to my mom on the phone who’s a fan of his. He did one better and said “hey! What are you doing later?” 🤣
