Richard Dreyfuss played Bernie Madoff in a tv film, and he is in the upcoming series " Shots Fired" so he is still working Cal.

Good to know. I was afraid that maybe he had kicked and I just hadn't heard. I will keep an eye out for the upcoming shows that he is in. They sound like tortured tales, but that's what makes good drama.

Condolences to his family and friends. Let It Ride is one of my all time top 3 favorite movies.
