Major L. Brock Sr. was born on September 3, 1916, in the quaint town of Lake End, situated in the picturesque Red River Parish, Louisiana. He was the son of Hardy Brock and Stella Holly Brock, and was also blessed with a younger brother named Johnny. Throughout his life, Major pursued a career as a baggage handler for Delta Airlines, dedicating an impressive 31 years to the esteemed organization.
In a surprising turn of events, Major's life took a dramatic turn when he was persuaded by director Jim McCullough Sr. to take on the role of crusty old carpenter Crewshaw in the horror slasher cult favorite, Mountaintop Motel Massacre (1983). This marked a significant departure from his usual profession, and allowed Major to showcase his acting talents to a wider audience.
Major L. Brock Sr. passed away at the ripe age of 85 on November 22, 2001, in Shreveport, Louisiana. He left behind a legacy that extended beyond his acting career, as he was survived by his son, Major L. Brock Jr., and his second wife, Beverly Myres Brock.
