An alligator that appeared in numerous TV shows and films over three decades, most notably “Happy Gilmore,” has died at a gator farm in Colorado.

Morris, an alligator believed to be more than 80 years old and the source of an impressive list of movie and TV credits, passed away last week at the Colorado Gator Farm in southern Colorado.

Adam Sandler honored his Happy Gilmore co-star Morris, an alligator who appeared in the 1996 comedy, following his death. The actor shared a lengthy tribute to Morris, who retired to the Colorado Gator Farm in 2006 after appearing in numerous films.
