I'll always remember him as Chris Farley's dad. First thing I thought of. I watched Tommy Boy not too long ago and actually looked it up to see if Dennehy was still alive. Damn shame to lose him.

You sure this isn't a thread meant for Brian Boitano?
Sorry, that's my immediate association of Brian Dennehy. RIP

my favorite story about him was from Patton Oswalt.
Oswalt was dieting but was at a lavish Hollywood party where there was food everywhere... and he was wandering around miserable not eating anything...
he finally just breaks down and starts getting some of the food.
He then feels a hand on his shoulder and it's Brian Dennehy he looks at Patton and says "Character actors. Who gives a f*** if we're fat?!" and started grabbing burgers
RIP Mr. Dennehy

I just watched the F/X movies the other night. Weird how the first one was like a legit thriller, and the second was more comedy.

Seriously though, this is such a bummer.

He and Paul Sorvino are two of my favorite actors. They seem to mirror each other in a few ways. One is their body shape and size and the type of movies they do (generally cop dramas). The other similarties would be they are great talents but also often seem to be involved more in made for TV movies or direct to DVD movies rather than big budget productions in theaters. I think, as good as they are, they just don't have the personality of say an Al Pacino or Robert DeNiro and the other two are often overshadowed in their ability. Any DVD I saw in a store with Brian's name on it, or Paul's, I would pick up immediately. He was in a great movie called "Righteous Kill" with Pacino and DeNiro in 2008 and even though the bigger names are the stars, the few scenes Brian has are pretty great. He was also in an episode of Law & Order SVU that was particularly memorable. The last I really know of him being in was a theater play with Mia Farrow in "Love Letters" which was supposed to be an ongoing playing featuring various female and male leads. It was sadly cancelled shortly in to the run. Mia posted a great photo of Brian and her dog from the time they did the play. Brian looks a lot slimmer than normal which was surprising even though it was from 2014. Patton Oswalt also told a cool story about Brian where he says both he and Patton are "character actors" which I think really doesn't tell just how amazing Brian was and still is but I guess he was a humble man. I'm sure he was happy and felt he had an amazing career but I think he was A list and deserved a lot of bigger big screen roles.

Want to see an underrated movie he’s good in? Check out Gladiator with Cuba Gooding Jr. Way over the top, but fun. Cocoon too.
Good solid character actor and will be missed.
