Fans 'Fondly' Remember ''Jurassic World' Star' Jimmy Buffett: 'A Great Actor'
While there are countless projects that Jimmy Buffett will be remembered for, fans are hyperfixating on one of "the great[est] cinematic cameos" in history following his death.
His brief, starring turn in Jurassic World, for which he was formally uncredited and in which he grabs two margaritas off of the table in front of him and takes off running as pterodactyls descend on the park's boardwalk, certainly made its mark on viewers—even the ones who just realized today that the sunglassed man double-fisting two drinks amidst complete and utter chaos was Buffett.
Fans took to Twitter after news broke of the Margaritaville singer's passing to reflect on the iconic scene, with one declaring he "knew exactly how to use" his ".25 seconds of screen time."

They "fondly remember" the moment they spotted him "heroically" "rescuing two margaritas" from the dinosaur's rampage in the 2015 reboot.

Some agreed that the blink-and-miss-it moment was "the best part" of the film, or even the whole trilogy, with one dubbing it "the only worthwhile moment" in all three flicks.
One declared him the "star" of the film in his tribute, with others thanking him for the "on the nose" appearance or calling him "a real one" for the moment.

A cause of death has not been revealed for Buffett at this time, but he'd canceled a number of concerts in recent months and was hospitalized in May for an undisclosed reason.
Fans took shots out of their Margaritaville-themed Crocs in his honor after waking up to the news this morning, while celebs like Bill Clinton, Toby Keith and more have posted tributes in his memory.
