RIP Dennis Farina

Damn. I just learned he died several days ago.
I *loved* that guy!
For those who didn't know, he spent 18 years as a Chicago cop before going into acting.

I didn't recall the quote, but I found it in a film I've seen.
The guy does bear a resemblance to Farina: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IeL8EYtbVw0&t=1m25s

I'll always remember him for those fast-montages where he travels back and forth between New York and London, in Snatch. I don't know why, but the repetition of cab-shot-Concorde-passport-cab in like two seconds always makes me laugh. Then he ends it with a great line, like "Shut up and sit down, you big, bald fuck!"

Trapped on the surface of a sphere. XKCD

I loved his old TV show Crime Story. That explains how he brought so much realism to the role. I enjoyed just about all his work. Yep, we'll miss him.
