He was the Dad in Dirty Dancing. A great character actor. RIP, Jerry.
He was good in that. Plays a scumbag that kills his brother's mistress.
"Try to remember that time in September, when life was young and oh, so mellow...."
I join in prayer for his loved ones!
I think my alltime favorite Briscoe moment was in the one about the guy who witnessed a murder, but he was a bookie and couldn't testify. Orbach asks to look around, opens one file cabinet, and finds the murder weapon instantly. He holds the gun up and says "Wow, that was easy!" His delivery is priceless.
But I know Orbach was quite accomplished, he was on Broadway for years and had a great singing voice, even won a Tony.
May he Rest In Peace.
I first heard the news last night while I was watching a rerun of Law & Order. May he rest in peace.
This year has seen many deaths of people I've liked and admired, among them: Pat Tillman, Jason Dunham, President Ronald Reagan, Reggie White, many brave men and women in Iraq.
The first city Crime Story was set in was Chicago not Detroit.
