He played a love interest in the show Grace and Frankie. I loved this quote about him: "There are only ten men in the world who could pull off that mustache, and he's nine of them." 😂
-
That’s for sure. As a former college roommate once told me “That man could eat crackers in my bed anytime”
-
Still the best combo of voice and mustache.
-
Lanky. Tall drink of water. Legs that go all the way to the ground.
-
I'll watch anything with Sam Elliott in it.
-
We're the same age & I'm jealous of his thick white hair. First saw him in "Mask" 1985 with Cher & most recently in "I'll See You in My Dreams" 2015 with Blythe Danner playing a mature love interest at 70 & "The Hero" 2017 playing a more mature love interest to a young woman.
-
Same…. And may I add That VOICE!!??? Like silky wine…..🍷
-
There’s handsome and then there’s Sam Elliott - terrific actor, amazing presence, swoon-worthy voice, and seems to be a genuinely nice guy.
-
obvious vs oblivious: glad to see this eighty-one year old "lifeguard" has the good sense to choose a stand lower to the sand. however, we're a wee bit disappointed he's not barefoot.
-
I'm proud to say that Sam is a fellow Oregonian. He lives in the county just north of mine. Great voice!
-
That guy was in Frogs. I guess maybe he did other stuff after that. 
-
Thank God he made it past 80. Keep up the good work Sam!!
-
The mustache doesn’t look a day over 60.
-
I occasionally shopped at the same grocery store when I lived in Eugene. I always looked around hoping I would catch sight of him as some of my friends had. But, alas, my life remained Sam-less.
-
I love how you hear the voice just by seeing the picture.
-
I remember him since the movie, Mask. Basically.
-
His glorious mustache is only 65 to be fair
-
That man could read me the Telephone Directory and I'd end up as a puddle on the floor.
-
Standard good looking, but nothing like the after-version: yummy.
-
He will always be a lifeguard in my mind.
-
G
Ooooo, you missed some of the great ones before that....
-
Making my heart beat out of my chest for years...yum!
-
Someone older than me!!😂 (I've just turned 80)
-
Is he still scared of homosexual cowboys in Movies?🤔 idiot!
