Jeff Morris - R.I.P.



Died July 13, 2004

Character actor Jeff Morris has died at age 69. Mr. Morris had memorable small roles is a number of big pictures. My first memory of Mr. Morris is from the Clint Eastwood war/caper/comedy "Kelly’s Heroes." Morris played the Texas-born Pvt. Cowboy. Pvt. Cowboy was the butt of several jokes by Don Rickles’ character Sgt. Crapgame. At one point, a German tank has blown up a latrine. Pvt. Cowboy and another Southern soldier are covered in feces. Crapgame throws a jab at Cowboy: "Kinda makes you feel homesick, doesn’t it?" When Crapgame leaves, the second Southern soldier turns to Cowboy and says "You know, it really does!" Mr. Morris was a real Texan. Born in Lubbock, he was a school mate of the late rocker Buddy Holly.

Morris may be best known for his portrayal of Bob, the owner of ‘Bob’s Country Bunker’ in John Landis’ comedy classic "The Blues Brothers." You remember Bob’s Country Bunker. They have both kinds of music: Country and Western!

Mr. Morris appeared in seven films with actor Jack Nicholson. He turned in his most chilling performance as the evil slave-trader/drug-dealer JJ in Tony Richardson’s "The Border." Mr. Morris also worked with Mr. Nicholson in "Goin’ South," "Ironweed," "The Two Jakes," "The Crossing Guard," "Anger Management" and "About Schmidt."

Mr. Morris appeared in many TV shows in guest roles. Mr. Morris’ film and TV credits include "The Bonnie Parker Story," "Bonanza," "Mission Impossible," "Death Valley Days," "Kid Galahad," "The Gauntlet" and the overlooked but worthwhile C&W character study "Payday" starring Rip Torn.

1. Holy shit! Big Abe!

That was his character's name in "Goin' South". One of my favorites!

Henry Moon: Anybody hungry?
Big Abe: Hungry! I could eat a frozen dog.
Henry Moon: Well I'll go out to the kitchen and see if we got one already froze.
