Morris the Alligator worked in Hollywood from 1975 to 2006, famously appearing as the Carl Weathers-eating villain in Sandler's 1996 comedy.

The 640-pound, 11-foot gator memorably played a golf-ball-stealing, hand-chomping terror in the 1996 Adam Sandler film.

Farm owner and operator Jay Young didn't know exactly how old the gator was, but from Morris's growth rate and tooth loss over the years, he had estimated Morris to be over 80 years old with the possibility of him being 90 or 100 years old when he died.
