He's done pretty well for a guy with no grade point average.
Bruce McGill. Daniel Simpson Day or D-Day from Animal House, the guy with no grade point average at Faber College. Animal House in 1977 was Bruce's second credited film. Since then he's appeared in more than 70 theatrical films, 20 TV films, 4 miniseries, and over one hundred TV episodes.This sweet bastard right here. You probably don’t know his name but you do know he’s been making everything he appears in better since forever. pic.twitter.com/5eJQTrko9F

He was Sheriff Dean Farley in 1992's My Cousin Vinny, Walter Hagen in 2000's The Legend of Bagger Vance, and Secretary of War Edwin Stanton in 2012's Lincoln. And he's still working.
In 1985 he guest starred as retired police officer Hank Weldon in one of Miami Vice's classic episodes, "Out Where The Buses Don't Run". Weldon left the force after having a breakdown when a case he meticulously built against drug lord Tony Arcaro fell apart when Arcaro walked on a technicality. Arcaro is supposedly still around but Crockett and Tubbs have trouble finding him. This is the final scene. As usual Miami Vice has a great soundtrack, this time it's Brothers In Arms from Dire Straits.
