Great actor. He starred in the best episode of NCIS they ever made. It was the one where Durning played a Medal of Honor recipient who had served in WWII with the Marines. He was depressed by the recent loss of his wife and he walked into NCIS and confessed to murdering his buddy on Iwo Jima. He really thought he had. Gibbs, of course, figured everything out.

RIP, Mr. Durning.

When I saw the thread, that episode was the first thing I thought of...it always chokes me up.

Well done, Mr. Durning...R.I.P.

You beat me to it! Still one of my favorite NCIS episodes. Durning was amazing! Pretty darn good in "The Sting", also...not to mention hundreds more.

He and Klugman on the same day. Sad..

RIP, Gentlemen!
