Dennis Farina Dead at 69

[IrishinTN]

One of the great tough guy/mob actors of our age.

edit: okay, I changed the picture, you big babies.

He'll be back by the time that massive picture loads for me.

That is a huge pic.

Man that sucks... always enjoyed his work.

 

[NDdomer2]

That is a huge pic.

it took my work internet a solid 30 some seconds to load that picture.

Side note: was in a hotel for work a couple weeks ago and Get Shorty was on tv. I had never watched. Liked his character in it.

blood clot in his lung.

 

[NDFan4Life]

Sad.

I really liked him in Law & Order also.

 

[NDinL.A.]

Great actor...loved him in almost everything he was in.

Sme true heavyweights passing away too young in Hollywood lately. RIP

 

[T Town Tommy]

This news wants to make me pull out the Miami Vice DVDs and start watching again. He was a great character actor.

 

[ACamp1900]

Snatch and Get Shorty... even Out of Sight with J Lo ruining everything...

liked most of his work.

Awesome movie

 

[ND NYC]

great actor! loved this guy.

his best role BY FAR in my opinion:

Midnight Run

"Moron #1 put Moron #2 on the phone"
"Sandy have a cream soda do some f^cking thing" haha

a true original

RIP

 

[ACamp1900]

Do it to my wife whenever possible...

Not Dennis Farina... But great scene

Figures... Thanks again Wiki. I'll leave it up just because I love the scene.

 

[Chi_IRISH]

Was a Chicago Police officer before an actor, and set up a great foundation for fallen Chicago police officers! Chicago lost a good one today. RIP.

Tough act to follow 12 years of Lennie Briscoe but Joe Fontana did a great job.
