    I liked him in everything he did. My personal favorite was Manhunter in '86 with William Petersen. Great flick.

    My favorite is him as Cousin Avi in Snatch. Best Line - Yes, London. You know: fish, chips, cup 'o tea, bad food, worse weather, Mary fucking Poppins... LONDON.

      @JisforMe +1!! He's awesome in Snatch, totally forgot he was in that.. Which is a testament to what a good actor he was because I sure as hell remember Cousin Avi!

      And what an awful way to go; hopefully it wasn't too painful.. Going to IMDB the man now; RIP!

    oh no. I loved him. he was always my answer to the- Who's your guilty Pleasure, who do you lust after that would surprise people - question. Such a talent. I loved him in everything but one of my favorites, because it was a different part for him, was That Old Feeling w/ bette midler. UGH so sad.

    Does this make the 3rd in the hollywood dies in 3's ? Dennis, Cory and Gandolfini? Cause people need to stop passing away damn it.

    Very sad, Denny was a childhood friend of my dad's and always remembered us no matter how famous he got. Great Chicago cop and a great actor. Rest in Peace.

    yep @ Midnight Run

    He was great in Sidewalks Of New york as well. Damn - Brittany Murphy is gone and now Dennis. That movie is going to be depressing to watch now.

    Another Manhunter fan here! I think that was the first time I ever saw Dennis Farina (or maybe it was Miami Vice, Michael Mann used him in both). Dennis Farina is one of my favorite actors of all time. Rest in Peace.

    I'm really sad about this. I really enjoyed seeing him play Nick's dad on New Girl this past season. Nick's dad died but they brought him back for a flashback episode; I was looking forward to more flashback episodes with Mr. Farina. :(
    Anyway, the folks at New Girl must be reeling; first Cory, who shared the network with them, and now Mr. Farina.

    Blood clots don't come from smoking. They travel to the lungs from other parts of the body. I ended up with a blood clot in my leg and spent 18 months on blood thinners and had a screen inserted to prevent it from traveling to my lungs.
    The poor guy probably did not know he had a blood clot.
    My father in law had one that traveled into his optic nerve and blinded him.

    OMG i thought i was the only one that remembered him in Miami Vice, I absolutely loved dennis I'm so sad he's gone but loved his body of work.

    I can't believe I forgot he was in manhunter- i still believe that is a far superior version of the book it was based on.
