RIP

I’ll always remember Dennehy as the ahole Sheriff who arrested John Rambo. Not a good idea..

Thought he was great with Bo Derek, as the bartender in 10.

Rambo went on to literally make him cry later in the movie.

RIP Mr. Dennehy

Yes, Silverado. One thing you can say is he made it look so easy. I guess he was out drawn for the last time.

Dennehy enlisted in the United States Marine Corps in 1958 and served on Okinawa[22] until 1963. In numerous interviews, Dennehy claimed to be a Vietnam veteran who served a five-year tour there and recounted harrowing tales of combat,[23] but according to the book Stolen Valor, Dennehy never served in Vietnam and never saw active combat.[23] The author of Stolen Valor wrote to Dennehy regarding the discrepancy, but received no reply from the actor, although Dennehy later admitted in an interview that he had lied about his service and apologized for it.[23]

Yep. Although he was in the Marines, he never served in Vietnam as he claimed but spent his time in Okinawa playing football.
