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

    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.

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

    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.
