R.I.P. Dennis Farina

[Jagger69]

One of my absolute favorite character actors. Sorry to see you go, Ray Bones....what a classic scene by Mr. Farina....

Many other credits (i.e. Law & Order) to his legacy.

Rest in peace....:crying: You will be missed!

[Mr. Daystar]

Just read this on Yahoo. He was a good actor, it sucks he died...and young too. He was funny too, but I liked him best in the movie striking distance.

 

[Straight Shooter]

A true Chicagoan. He was actually a Chicago cop for 18 years before he went into acting.

I first saw him on Law & Order, then later on in Snatch, Get Shorty, and Midnight Run, followed by many more occurrences. His acting chops were tempered by his prior police work, and helped him portray anything from a gangster to to a New York jeweler. A unique guy in every sense of the word.

My show with Dennis was Crime Story. The theme song was Del Shannon's Runaway.

A true Chicagoan. He was actually a Chicago cop for 18 years before he went into acting.

and as a cop he actually arrested the hood who went on to play Pauly in Crime Story.

"No, no, no. Fuck you, fuckball. L.A. is an open city and I don't gotta get permission from nobody for nothin'.

One of my favorites. It's a shame. Hopefully the rule of three will include some turd who truly deserves it, not a great character actor like Mr. Farina.

Yup. Sorry to see him go.
