For some reason I just remembered his small role in The Hunt for Red October as a wisecracking Navy helicopter pilot.
RIP

Oops, not a helicopter pilot, but definitely a pilot.
To: Ronniesque
Yep.
Yeah man it wasn’t that thin puke, it was that industrial chunky stuff!

Yes! That’s it :-)
I think Jack Ryan at that point, holding back from puking himself, mutters to himself to “next time right a d**n memo!” (so that he would be getting sent out in the field like this)

I liked his line in Scary Movie.

What did he play in Die Hard? I did some searches and couldn’t find the character he played.

Yes, as Gus, one of the two drunks with Bill Murray.
Groundhog Day (1993)
[Phil Connors drives (because Ralph and Gus are drunk) right through a mailbox]
Gus: Hey Phil, if we wanted to hit mailboxes we could let Ralph drive. Phil: It's the same thing your whole life: "Clean up your room. Stand up straight. Pick up your feet. Take it like a man. Be nice to your sister. Don't mix beer and wine, ever." Oh yeah: "Don't drive on the railroad track."
Gus: Well, Phil, that's one I happen to agree with.
