Actor Brian Dennehy has died at 81 years old. For some reason the role that I always remember him in was the detective in F/X.
Decent flick. Who was the main guy? The one from Cocktail? Bryan Brown or something? He was popular for a minute.
That's the one. I think it was that film where Bryan Dennehy was having chimichangas at a sidewalk restaurant when his date took a headshot from the back and he though it was just her biting down wrong on the food.
The sheriff in the first Rambo movie is a close second for me. All I remember of Tommy Boy was the monster truck on Main Street or something?

I remember the episode he did years ago when he lowered a microphone into hell, so we could hear the damned scream. I thought it was a comedy bit at the time, it took me a bit to figure out he was just a whack job.
