Default RIP Dennis Farina
Dead at just 69 I have no links or a cod, I am at work. I am sure someone can pull it up. Really sad to hear, remember him from Luck, Midnight Run, very funny as Ray Bones in Get Shorty. Wow, him and James Gandolfini now gone from that film. Ex Chicago cop turned actor, and a damn good one. He will be missed.

That's when I first noticed him. I followed his career from then on. He was a great actor. He played those type of Crime Story roles extremely well.

Out of Sight was a classic and he was too.

I always confused him with Frank Vincent (aka Billy Bats from Goodfellas)

Anyhow - he was an all time great and will be missed. A Dennis Farina tribute (May want to turn the volume down if at work):

Cousin Avi in Snatch. Classic.

Didn't he lose his role on Law and Order because there was some issue with him trying to take a gun on a plane or something? Sucks because I thought he was very good with his brief role on that show. RIP
