He played the kindest and gentlest man in Anne of Green Gables. I can't imagine being able to not like him.

Not sure why but I have always loved this man, especially as his character in Ann of Green Gables. He just seemed to epitomize goodness and quiet strength. I'm so sorry his last days were so full of pain. RIP Mr. Farnsworth 🙏💙

What a top notch actor and human. Had a humbleness and sweet gentle nature about him. Rest in peace, Mr. Farnsworth

How can anybody dislike such a well told and touching story.

My wife and myself met Richard in Las Vegas at The Four Queens. We were having breakfast and he was talking with us. He was a kind man and had a beautiful smile. He was a mans man and so friendly. We never forgot his kindness to US and we were fans the rest of his life. RIP. RICHARD🌈

A man of honor who didn't stoop to using foul language. Sad to hear how he died. Loved him in Anne of green gables.

Many times when I drive through Lincoln, he crosses my mind. I think when a person leaves this earth but is remembered for their positive contributions, they have fulfilled their purpose. Thank you for sharing his story. I have gained even more respect for Mr. Farnsworth.

I just loved Richard Farnsworth. Broke my heart when I heard how he passed.

Mr Farnsworth was one of my family’s favorite actors when he only had a “walk on” part , but his kindness was evident on his handsome face and his kind blue eyes that was noticeable even among all the other actors ! Rest In Peace Kind Soul 🌹💕👵🏻🐶😺👍

A great story about a kind and decent gentleman. Hollywood needs more like him. May he Rest Peacefully in God's Kingdom.

I’ve always felt that Richard didn’t act. All he had to do was just be himself.

One of the beloved actors of his time; a special man. Thank you for doing a piece on him.

Thank you Jerry. Another great gentleman cowboy Not many around anymore

I had a crush on Mr. Farnsworth from the time I was a teenager until he died. A fine gentleman and a great horseman are few and far between in this world.

A fine actor and a gentleman, he is missed.

"The Grey Fox" movie was brilliant, absolutely brilliant.

Loved Richard Farnsworth. A great Stunt Man turned Great Actor. Miss his smile and his down home persona. One of the Great Cowboys along with Ben “Son” Johnson.

His voice was extremely unique and very much suited him.A very gentle and kind spirit.

ive always loved that man, he was one of the most polite and sincere gentleman, that's ever walked on this Earth. Thank you Jerry, you did him with exactly the huge amount of Respect and Dignity that this wonderful man deserved. I asked you a few months ago to do one on Mr. Farnsworth, and you actually did it!! Thank you, you're great Jerry!!

i have tears in my eyes, a lump in my chest, and gratitude to you for this piece about my favorite character actor, who was also a great actor, period.

I saw his last movie and was so impressed that this man could still do a motion picture like a real pro! Thanks Jerry...

I've waited along time to know the story behind his death, now I understand.. Thank you for this post... Rest peacefully Richard, pain free!

You are such a thoughtful narrator. You tell the stories of these people beautifully 💜

The Straight Story was a masterpiece. Sissy Spacek was wonderful as well. The scene where Alvin explains the strength of family to the young lady is brilliant, makes me cry every time.

Sadly, there are few men living today who could fill Richard Farnsworth's shoes. Thank you for this, another fine video.

Here's me at 56, crying at another of your wonderful real stories. Sounds like Mr Farnsworth was a great man that we all could aspire to. RIP. Thanks Jerry.

I always loved him as a actor and I could tell he was a kind man off screen also. GOD BLESS HIS SOUL♡

For the longest time, I've watched your videos and really enjoy them, but for quite a while I thought they were narrated by Richard Farnsworth. You sound so much like him. I mean that with great respect, as he had a unique and pleasant voice. Your voice is one of the best things about the stories you tell. Thank you for giving us these.

Just as you mentioned Jerry , He played Mathew Cuthbert in The Canadian Series " Anne of Green Gables " A role I shall never forget . Thank you for your passion Jerry and sharing it with us . Dan from Canada out .

I love those old cowboy-type actors who were never stars, but always did a good job on every movie they did. Most of the time, you recognize their face as soon as you see them, but never can seem to remember their names. I didn't know that Richard Farnsworth had been a rodeo ider and stuntman bfoe becoming an actor. Thank you for another fascinating video M. Skinner.

I loved this actor. he was classy. and handsome

Thanks and God bless you Mr.Skinner .. Richard Farnsworth is what I imagine you look like..A great SOUTHERN VOICE FROM A GREAT SOUTHERN GENTLEMAN

One of the best documentaries i have ever heard about one of the most honorable actors ever.I miss him much!!!

Sometimes it's hard to lose an actor that you have grown to love through the years, and Richard Farnsworth is one that I loved as a close friend. I don't think I missed a western movie ever, so it was always good to see him again through my growing up years. I hope to meet him someday, God willing! Thank you for sharing his memory Mr Jerry Skinner

My Dad (RIP) always loved Richard Farnsworth, right alongside of Tom Mix, Gene Autry and John Wayne. I would watch Saturday afternoon westerns with Dad , such great memories. Thank you for this wonderful tribute to a super cowboy and sincere, honest man. 🤠🐴

You couldn't help to like this man. I did and I miss him.

Such a fine man and it’s a shame the pain was so bad in the end of his life I think much more needs to be done for people suffering in pain at the end of their lives

I first became aware of Richard Farnsworth when I saw "The Gray Fox" in the 1980's. Loved him in "Anne of Green Gables."

May Almighty God bless have mercy on the soul of this beautiful man.

What a fabulous actor he was. And such a likeable guy.

I remember him in Anne of green gables. Me and my mum loved his character as Marilla's brother. The series was wonderful. Good to know that there were some great honest men in Hollywood. Sadly they are few and far between these days.

I enjoyed Richard Farnsworth's movies. I really enjoyed him on that John Deere lawnmower, he did a magnificent job. He was a fine man and actor.

Hurts your heart to hear of these old folks' legacies .. thanks Jerry for the upload 🌹

He had such beautiful blue eyes. Handsome when young, I especially liked his gray hair & beard. The Gray Fox was my favorite movie of him. Thank you for a well done autobiography.

I worked with Mr. Farnsworth on "Tom Horn." One night he and I and a couple of other actors got together to play guitars and have a little jam session. He was the most pleasant man I have ever met.

The character he played on Anne of Green Gables (Matthew) was wonderful! One of my favorites.

Thank you for this. I've always enjoyed Mr. Farnsworth's acting. He always seemed to be a true gentlemen.

You always do a great job telling us about these amazing people who we grew up with. Thank you Jerry. I broke y neck in 96 and have suffered with Pain for so many years I cannot count. I wish not to count them. What upsets me the most about being injured is not being able to escape it or feel tough enough to overcome it and those who love us and suffer along the way with us. My family deserves better. Not listening tp me complain.. Pain has a life of its own. There is no controlling 'it'. When you got to the part about his pain and it NOT being 'managed', well, I knew where you were going with this. I have thought about ending it for years but, that FINAL MOMENT really is a tough one to swallow. I just cannot seem to make that leap. You have to be pretty far gone to end it like that! The unknown awaits, and my grandmother use to talk about family committing suicide (4 of them) when we were kids and she'd tell us, 'they went straight to hell'. For Eternity. OMG! Her words always enter my thoughts when I think I cannot go another day. Scary. I must admit this old US Army Sergeant cried a little when you said he 'shot himself' in the next room and his girlfriend (?) ran to him. It was too late. Let us hope he did NOT go to hell and he is at PEACE. He was a wonderful human being who deserved a better ending than this. He gave us all so very much. His human spirit, talent, voice, western looks and that tough guy part he often played helped groom us boys in to becoming men. We had a man to look up to and admire for those of us without fathers. Rest In Peace Mr. Richard Farnsworth. Thank you for the memories. There is no way God would send such an amazing Spirit to hell. He was in horrific pain and no one should suffer like that for years. I just pray God has something easier for me in the end. In my sleep! One day we'll all be on that Ranch in Heaven. RIP

I loved watching Richard Farnsworth. He seemed to fit every roll he was in. Loved him in misery. RIP

Fantastic video - thoroughly enjoyed watching! _(I didn't know that he took his own life)_

Thank you for sharing his story !! I've always like Richard Farnsworth . He was such a great actor in everything he played in . I loved his mannerism . I did not know that he killed himself though . That saddens me to know that . I guess the pain was too unbearable . Bless his heart . That's so sad . Have you ever seen Elvis Presley's cousin Billy Smith ? I swear he looks so much like Mr. Farnsworth now . He's a character too . Billy Smith is so funny !! Thank you for sharing another great video. You are such a great storyteller !!

The Grey Fox was such a good movie, one of my favorites.

Thank you Mr Jerry another masterpiece. Have a wonderful weekend.

A great actor. Very much under rated. Always remember him as Mathew Cuthbert in Anne of Green Gables.

You voice has always reminded me of Richard Farnsworth Jerry. Always liked Richard , he was a straight up guy.

Watching this reminds me of all the times I’ve seen this actor in movies. I didn’t know he was a Bronc rider too. I rode Broncs and team roped for 9 years so; I sure knew what he meant when he said he was use to hitting the ground. It’s funny; I too had dreams of being a stunt man or working in the movie business but; welding and commercial diving kept me pretty busy. You can just tell who’s a good ole boy and who ain’t. RICHARD FARNSWORTH was always a pleasure to watch. R.I.P. Good job Mr. Skinner👍

Thank you so much for this biography. It's amazing that I enjoyed him for years and yet knew so little about him. What a fine man he was.

Great narration of a fine man’s life. Thank you! Didn’t know much about Richard Farnsworth but now we do!

Always was one of my favorite actors, always came across as easy going and genuine!

Mr. Skinner, you have an uncommon eye when it comes to the story and character of the folks who undoubtedly qualify as mythic figures in the American consciousness. You're voice, as it is, already calls to mind old yarns, spun by Old Timers. Thank you, Sir.

I have always really enjoyed watching Mr. Farnsworth I guess I first took note of him in “Tom Horn” and wondered what he had done prior to that. He kind of reminded me of some of the older gentlemen that I grew up around back in the 50’s Thank you for spending the time to put this video out.

Richard Farnsworth Wow he was one heck of a man.

Another great, untold story Jerry. Keep up the good work, because no one else seem's to care.

When someone is so natural n successful in his profession as he's seamlessly under the radar then u know you're watching a greatly accomplished person. God bless Richard.

Thanks you for sharing, Jerry. Another awesome biography.

Marvelous bio, thank you again Jerry. Always LOVED Richard Farnsworth, have most of his films on DVD and miss him to this day.

Excellent actor and a very good man. We don't have too many like him left.

A life well lived.

I loved him through his movie characters... Larger than life in all of the right ways, you could always see him for miles in every direction through the characters he portrayed...

I sincerely hope Richards family has had the chance to see this beautiful documentary you put together Mr.Skinner and to read all the lovely comments below... no doubt they would be smiling during the entire video.❤️

Over the decades, I've become fascinated by the great, "character actors" - like Richard Farnsworth. Learning their stories has been of interest to me. One of the reasons I revisit, "The Natural," is seeing Farnsworth and Wilford Brimley working together. Thanks for this profile.

Seen most or all of his work, I even cried when he died. Yes, i'll admit it.

I watch all your video's love them ...Keep up the good work

Beautiful memories of Richard's acting. Thanks Jerry.

Never met Richard cept on the screen .. You could tell he was a good man just by the roles he chose to play. Thank You Jerry Skinner.

A great actor and talented rider!!! It is so sad he did not win the Oscar, he deserved it for sure!

As always, I love your documentaries! I really don't care what they are about, you have such a talent for making them interesting and bringing the subject and era to life. PLEASE, continue making these gems!!!

Thank you again Jerry, this was one of my favorite actors. I often wondered what happened to him. It would be hard to find one like him today. Again you made my weekend, I check everyday for you and when I see you just put a new one on, I can’t wait to watch it. You are one of a kind Jerry, please keep,them coming, you bring a lot of happiness to a lot of people. Augie Blase🤠

Thank you very much, Mr. Skinner. I appreciate all that you do to share with us.👍🏼💖

I could Listen to Jerry Skinner read the phone book.

Loved this man Loved him the Ann of Green gables series. Just a gentleman..

I remember Richard Farnsworth for playing Matthew in Anne of Green Gables. His character was wonderful. It makes me want to watch that again. Thank you for making this.

What a great way to start the day!!! Thank you for all your work great job!!!

Thank you, Jerry! I've been wanting you to do this one for years!

Always beautifully done with much compassion. It is always a joy to see a new video come up.

I always loved Mr. Farnsworth. He always looked sad, though. His ending was horribly sad. Rest In Peace. 🌹

Thank you..., Mr.Farnsworth was a true Gentleman..Actor....Cowboy. The World was a better place, when he was with us....RIP

Stumbled upon this on YT. Mr. Farnsworth was one of those actors who always made a movie Better, I'll tell you that.

*I love your videos as you bring to light the **#ExcellentACTORS** from years gone by! 🙏🏻✝💖✝🙏🏻* .

Another Great job Mr Skinner

Richard Farnsworth was a beautiful actor and excellent stuntman and one wonderful man I loved him!

This was so good!!! This man was my favorite. I loved him in everything. Thank you now this is what a Hollywood Legend really looks like👏👏👏💞

He was one of my favorite actors and still is.

Is there any way to post-posthumously award someone an Oscar years later because the actor was horribly wronged? Richard was seriously underrated and underappreciated by Hollywood, but the fans will always love him and his work, and always miss him.

One of your best videos ever, Mr. Skinner... I loved Richard Farnsworth.

Thank you Jerry for all your wonderful stories about the famous. You always tell me something I didn't know.

Slim Pickens, Ben Johnson, Wilford Brimley and Richard Farnsworth, you really can't go wrong there......

They don’t make men like that anymore these days...........

Great content never knew all about this man and all he partaken in

RIP - Richard Farnsworth The Straight Story might be David Lynch’s best film. Also RIP - Harry Dean Stanton, The Master 🇺🇸
