Lloyd Bridges was a class act. When I was a kid we had a cabin in the same place Lloyd did. We would run into him occasionally. He was the most polite, kind, personable and hospitable person one could meet, even to some star stuck knucklehead kids. His kindness meant a lot. He was a True Gentleman. Fast forward to Jeff winning Best Actor. There is some justice in the universe.

Course I still like The Addams family and shows like that from that era.

In the Summer of '92 I was walking down the street in Cologne Germany with some classmates, and we saw Lloyd Bridges. We walked up to him to say hello and to thank him for all of the entertainment he had provided us over the years. We were able to get our picture taken with him. He asked me what my favorite movie of his was, and I said "Airplane" He commented that "everybody says that. I've made so many great movies and that's the one everybody loves." I told him that for people my age, it would be their favorite. He was so nice to us, he was a great man. It was also funny that all of the Germans were looking at him wondering who he was...

One of my favourite t-shirts has that exact pic of Lloyd Bridges, from ‘Airplane!’, with “I picked a bad week to quit sniffing glue” printed underneath. It never fails to get comments, whenever I wear it. In the same way Jeff will be remembered as ‘The Dude’, Lloyd will remembered for his performance in ‘Airplane!’. And that’s not a bad thing in either instance.

Growing up as a young boy I never missed an episode of Sea Hunt. Lloyd Bridges was one of my first TV hero's. It was a good show.

This is great. Like everyone else in the entire world, I love Jeff! I remember Sea Hunt from back in the day, I was in about sixth grade. It was a good show.

I remember watching his dad in one of my favorite shows as a kid in the 60's, Sea Hunt.

I'm watching the original Battle Star Galactica and the episodes with Lloyd Bridges as "The Legendary Commander Caine" are the best! Lloyd Bridges played it like a less prima donna Patton. Great fun!

I ran into Lloyd Bridges once. It was April 29, 1992. I was going into the Laemmle Royal Theater in West LA to see Howard's End. Lloyd and his wife (I assume) was coming out from the previous show. It was quite a thrill (love Airplane and Sea Hunt). What made it even more memorable was coming out of the movie at 8/9 pm to find that LA was under siege. The Rodney King verdict was announced that day. The next few days were also memorable.

Man, I had no idea they were related. Just adds an awesome flavor to these guys as actors.

Love Lloyd, Jeff, the whole Bridges family was Hollywood royalty.

Part of the underlying humor of the Airplane movies was the casting of well known SERIOUS actors such as Lloyd, Peter Graves, Leslie Nielson, Robert Stack, etc. in comedic roles.

It’s impossible not to like this guy …he’s so instantaneously likable 😍😍

Being in "High Noon" is a form of immortality.

Lloyd in Hot Shots! is the greatest thing ever.

Lloyd was a funny guy & great actor. He also was in a couple of Jeff’s films. He played Jeff’s Irish uncle in 1993’s action/thriller “Blown Away” & a corrupt Michigan senator who conspired with the Big 3 auto makers to frame a new car inventor in 1988’s “Tucker - the Man and his Dream”. I highly recommend both of them.

Jeff Bridges is one of my favorites. If you never watched Wild Bill go watch it.

Only The Dude could turn up to an interview in slippers .

I grew up watching Seahunt, takes me back!

Lloyd Bridges, what a brilliant actor. I mostly know him from his comedy roles, but man, these were memorable like nothing else! What a legend!!

Just a great person. I enjoyed watching him so much.

Jeff is my favourite actor. Love this guy.

sea hunt is the show that lead me to become a navy diver, thanks lloyd

Blown away is one of the best Jeff bridges movies I’ve seen along with Tron 1 and 2, the muse, simpatico, fabulous baker boys, 8 million ways to die, star man and the big Lebowski. And it’s one of the best because of seeing Jeff bridges and Tommy Lee Jones together in an action movie. And it came out the same year as speed and true lies which also dealt with terrorism and bombs and explosions. It still is a classic to me and better than Arlington road 5 years later.

Didn't want to develop a very strong persona. "The Dude".

Love them all great family and how they love eachother 💪😜 Take that to the BRIDGE YEAH 💯❤️🇬🇧

I loved him in “Hot Shots”

This man got impeccable posture

The hot shot movies wouldn’t have been as good as they were without Lloyd. He was hilarious

I imagine Jeff getting close to throwing the movie when the producer asked him to have Lloyd read for a part. But then knowing the pleasure of having his dad "knock it out of the park" as he said, in the audition. The one thing hollywood did was creating typecasting, because it´s not the actor, it never was. As many comedians have shown many many times, is that they make the best drama performances(but almost no drama actor can be funny).
