Brian Dennehy - great character actor and sometimes leading man.

Not COVID-19 related - tho must have been sudden. His IMDB page shows he's been pretty active. Plus he did a ton of stage work.

First Blood and Tommy Boy!

He did a TV mini-series many years ago playing serial killer John Wayne Gacy - To Catch a Killer.

Nothing short of brilliant - other than him it was mostly a no-name cast. He carried the entire production.

Huh - I wasn't aware of that. I guess I should have known:

Do you really feel that way?

Serious question. Are you saying he's a POS to be edgy? He admitted he lied and apologized in 1998.

Stolen valor is a POS act. Not forgiving someone for what they admitted and apologized for 22 years ago (whether exposed or not) is a bigger POS act.

So edgy.
