Brian Dennehy passed today, "Tommy Boy" "Best Seller" actor 81, R.I.P.

[DOM-Ganador]

It is with heavy hearts we announce that our father, Brian passed away last night from natural causes, not Covid-related. Larger than life, generous to a fault, a proud and devoted father and grandfather, he will be missed by his wife Jennifer, family and many friends.

Very solid character actor for decades Jibs.
81 is a good run. This guy was no midget (Cruise, Redford, Bronson, Stallone, et al) 6"3' and built like a linebacker.

Great actor. He was great in all the roles mentioned in the posts above. One of my favorite performances by Dennehy was in a little known movie called The Jericho Mile. He played Dr. D, the leader of a white prison gang. Excellent performance and movie. I highly recommend it. R.I.P.

Played coach Knight in season on the brink. Great portrayal of Bobby Knight. Was a punk cop in Rambo though

[Kermit]

Nice pull Kermit. Very underrated and obscure flick. Very well done fight scenes.

That is one of my favorite movies.
