Too many films to mention is right.

Was lucky enough to catch him playing Bull McCabe around ten years back in The Olympia.

Loved Brian Dennehy one of my favorites since childhood.


I was always delighted when I saw a new Jack Reed TV film in my local video store.


I saw him in The Iceman Cometh at the Abbey back in the 90's.

Fvck that would have been class!

The Princess Bride

Am amazing actor.
I remember seeing him in To Catch A killer, about John Gacy.
He so easily played the role of this evil man, that it took me ages to get him out of my mind.

Requiescat In Pace.

Snake Plisken

RIP, great actor thought he was fantastic as the Sheriff in First Blood and Chris Farley's Dad in Tommy Boy

Loved him. Cop, lawyer or alcoholic his films are brilliant. I can never remember which of the made for tv ones is which (the titles are so classic trye movie) but the Jack Reed ones stand out. A Killing in a Small Town is on youtube and also recommended.

Saw that production also in Castlebar. He was typically good in it, though the adaption was ordinary enough I thought.

Following 'Magnificent Men in their Flying Machines' I was going to include Stuart Whitman, 92, on the veterans list; however, it transpires he also passed, just a month ago. Had parts in The Commancheros, The White Buffalo, plus a couple of episodes of the A-team among others.

Agent Coulson

Allen Daviau, RIP.

The five-time Oscar-nominated cinematographer who worked on Steven Spielberg’s E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial, Empire of the Sun and The Color Purple, among many other films, died Wednesday of coronavirus. He was 77.

Daviau died at the Motion Picture & Television Country House and Hospital, the fourth resident at the facility to die of the virus.

He was also terrific in season 3 of In Treatment, a lesser known HBO show starring Gabriel Byrne. Hugely talented actor.

According to that website, his 95-year old mother only died last Saturday.

He had wonderful screen presence, once of those guys who just draws attention

He was fantastic in Jurassic World. He cuts a great classical heroic figure as he pilots the helicopter out... and then disaster - the ropiest CGI helicopter I've seen in a big budget movie in years.

Talvar is on Netflix. I see it mentioned on lists of his best movies.

I saw one tribute describe him as having a philosophical style of acting. Which I think describes it well.

Sorry to hear, he was quite so young still.
Liked him also in The Namesake where he plays the father, and in The Lunchbox which is such a gentle movie.

Thanks for posting that - I didn't realise that it was him that was in The Lunchbox.

The Lunchbox is a good gentle romance - well worth a watch. (I think that it's a remake of an American film, but I can't remember which one). It had been on Netflix, but I don't think that it is any longer.

Nimrat Kaur who plays the woman in it, also has a role as an ISI agent in Homeland - and she said that it was her role in The Lunchbox that got her the role in Homeland.

Nice tribute from Tom Hanks, not delivered on his death but in an earlier interview.
