Really liked his roles in a couple of movies. First saw him
opposite William Hurt in the truly great “Gorky Park” with Hurt as a Moscow police detective, Ian Bannen as a corrupt commie Russian prosecutor (Iamskoy) and LEE MARVIN(!) as a dealer in sables who is the center of trying to smuggle real Russian sables out of the country.
Great movie from a lot of perspectives,including rebuilding of skull fascia, but Dennehy was super as a NYC cop trying to find out the fate of his younger brother.

F/X he was great as well, the symmetry of the plot, cutting out a dirty fed cop.
Sure that James Woods will comment, think they were friends. Here they are together in “Split Image” a Canadian film about a private eye (woods) hired to find Dennehy’s son who has disappeared into a cult.

I forgot about Gorky Park. And I rewatched it about 6 months ago.
