RIP BRIAN DENNEHY...


You projected a distinct, burly swagger which caught the eye of audiences worldwide. You were also one helluva an actor, Mr. Dennehy. 


You covered all bases, with drama, adventure and even the fantastic, with such varied titles under your belt as "First Blood"; "Cocoon"; "Cocoon: the Return"; "Gorky Park"; "Silverado"; "Presumed Innocent"; "The Man From Snowy River II": "The Next Three Days"; "Looking for Mr. Goodbar"; "To Catch a Killer"; "In Broad Daylight": "Voyage of Terror"; "Belly of an Architect"; "Knight of Cups"; "Twice in a Lifetime"; "Death of a Salesman (2000)"; "Dummy"; "A Real American Hero"; "Our Fathers"; "Skokie"; "The Challenger"; "The Jericho Mile"; "Semi-Tough"; and "Tommy Boy". 


Your television appearances also deserve mention, which include "Darkroom"; "Masters of Science Fiction"; "Faerie Tale Theater"; "Tall Tales and Legends"; "Law and Order: Special Victims Unit"; "Lou Grant"; "Hunter"; "Serpico"; "Kojak"; "Miami Vice"; "Sirens"; "Cagney and Lacey"; "Police Woman"; "Dallas": "Dynasty"; "Knots Landing"; "Dead Man's Walk"; "Thanks of a Grateful Nation"; "Category 6"; "The Last Place on Earth"; and a whole lot more. 


You were a man's man, as the saying goes: stalwart, keen, mean and likable: an actor who never failed to entertain, a man who fulfilled his occupation to the highest mark.
