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.

In "Happy Gilmore," Adam Sandler's angry golfer fought the ball-eating gator. But when alligator actor Morris died at 80, Sandler paid respect.
