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

Happy Gilmore' star Adam Sandler shares a playful tribute honoring his reptilian co-star, Morris the alligator, who died Sunday of old age at a gator farm in southern Colorado.

Based on his growth rate and tooth loss, Morris the alligator was at least 80 years old when he died. He was nearly 11 feet long and weighed 640 pounds.
