Quoted from CrazyLevi:Saw him on Broadway Death of a Salesman 20 years ago or so.
That is one thing I wish I could do more, see these folks on Broadway. It's an entirely different type of experience.
He was awesome as the evil boxing coach in “Gladiator”.
Great tough guy actor, enjoyed his work in all his movies. Rest easy.
Quoted from CrazyLevi:Saw him on Broadway Death of a Salesman 20 years ago or so. It was good. Lots of yelling.
Me too, one of the best performances I’ve seen.
Loved Dennehy.
I first saw him in Silverado (great 80s western for those that never checked it out), he played a perfect charismatic villain. Lots of great roles over the years.
Patton Oswalt tells a story about bumping into Dennehy at a movie premier buffet when they were both loading up their plates while the slimmer stars held back, and Dennehy said to him "Character actors! Who gives a fuck if we’re fat?"

So many good roles. Great actor.
Teasle : If you want some friendly advice, get a haircut and take a bath. You wouldn't get hassled so much.
Also in one of my favorite lesser known movies. He was the pilot in "Never Cry Wolf".
R.I.P Brian Dennehy. One of the great character actors of his generation. I'm going to watch First Blood tonight in his honor.
He was so damn evil in Rambo! What a great heavy, and could play the other direction in stuff like Cocoon.
