Dennis Farina dies at age 69.

[daflyboys]

From a blood clot in his lung. I wasn't much of a Law & Order fan, but loved him in "Snatch".

He was a scene stealer in Midnight Run.

I loved him in Snatch as well and found his work on Law & Order passable. (the show was clearly on its last legs) The man's had a remarkable life being a cop then becoming an actor.

Great character actor that always stole scenes from the big name guys.

"Crime Story" is "under the radar" All Time Top 10 TV for me:

Speaking of underrated Farina did a show in '98 that had A TON of potential but poor ratings sank it.

Basically the premise was a Rat Pack era private detective coming out of retirement in the '90s and doing his thing.

Crazy.

Unfortunately my only real memory of the guy is as a rapist in some cheap made for TV movie. Every time I see him, I just think "oh - he's that rapist".

Sad to see him go. Perhaps my all-time favorite Farina line (NSFW):
