Ed Brown was on a TV show where was a grouchy old man who ran a garage and auto shop, who was interrupted when this Latino ended up having misadventures with him. Grandpa Joe Bucket is a character from a famous book and movie (and its remake), who was retired, but accompanied his grandson to the factory where he used to work, when his grandson managed to get a guided tour of the now-restricted factory.
No idea what movie had a grandfather accompany a grandson to a FACTORY? What kind of factory could the grandson possibly WANT to visit, and have to actually WIN a tour of?

He was looking for it to use as a clue in a game round a few weeks after he was looking for it. Meanwhile, I hope he posts the next one soon.

Well ... yeah. I was about 15 when it came out. (Saw it a couple of years later, when I was in college.) Fonda DID win the Best Actress Oscar for the performance. George

The show is probably Chico and the Man, and I can see the actor's face, but I don't remember his name.

It's unfortunate you don't remember his name. How about the movie role?

Nope. I know I'll recognize the name, but I'm not getting it.

Is this an old version of Willy Wonka?

In this case, it's the "classic" version, with what looks like an actual factory in at least some of the scenes.
So, you know 2 roles, and can probably picture the actor.
