I always enjoyed him as an actor.
He always seemed believable.
RIP.
“It is with heavy hearts we announce that our father, Brian passed away last night from natural causes, not Covid-related.

Kudos to the family for this ‘revelation’.
Sadly, the state will probably count him anyway.

I don’t have many favorite actors. Just don’t care enough but I always thought he was very good.
I really liked him. Great actor.
He was horrifying playing John Wayne Gacy in “To catch a killer”. I’ll never forget that one scene where he invites a teen boy over his house, tricks the teen into wearing handcuffs and this look of pure evil comes over Dennehys face that was just unreal, as if he was saying to the kid “I got you now, you’re life is over”.....

And, in retrospect, with what I know about drifters/homeless/addicts, I think I'll root for the sheriff the next time I watch First Blood.
“If it hadn’t been for that king shit cop...”
“Ugh, same age as my dad. I ain’t looking forward to this at all at all at all.”
Dennehy was younger than I am,just take it one day at a time.
.
He was my favorite such a hunk of a man.
But not "The Blacklist"? Hmmm...
Sad news. A very good actor. Memory eternal.
With that said, Dennehy was one of my favorite actors. Loved the Jack Reed series, In Broad Daylight, Final Appeal and many more. He was truly gifted and a very versatile.
RIP
Great movie. I used to play the Dudley Moore transcription of that song on piano. Wonder if I still have the sheets...
Liked him as an actor. STOLEN VALOR is simply unforgiveable to me. It so cheapens what REAL participants did.
As an actor his portrayal of the Homosexual, DEMOCRAT Pedophile, Serial Killer John Wayne Gacy was disturbing beyond belief.
John Wayne Gacy - DEMOCRAT killed at least 33 young men in an unspeakable manner.
Apparently Dennehy had regrets about playing the role later in life.
One of the best. Always turned in a great performance.
Wish he had been young enough to play Harry Bosch.
shows he was a good actor
Just watched him in one of his later movies The Ultimate Gift, he plays a rancher. James Garner in it too I believe it was his last film. Good movie!
Dennehy, to me, was the extension of Brian Keith. Same first name. Same face. Same demeanor. I’d hum the theme of “Family Affair” whenever I saw him.
