Just read his IMDB bio and was impressed that he turned down a lot of psycho offers after his success in Something Wild. He didn't want to be typecast so he took on smaller projects until landing the part of Henry Hill in Goodfellas. RIP

Saw him in Dominick and Eugene (1988) back at that time. Definitely an effort at a different role.
As it was for Tom Hulce.

I think Tom Hulce should make a come back.

Saw him just days ago in a rewatch of The Place Beyond the Pines (2012), where he portrayed a corrupt detective. Maybe not exactly typecast, but he seemed to be a natural in that type of role (someone in a position of authority/power who abused it) and played it often during his career.

He was great in Unlawful Entry.

My dad loves that movie.

Sad news .....I think he elevated any movie he was in..

But I gotta say that if he actually died in his sleep with no pre-existing illness dragging him down then he atleast got what most hope for but few obtain.

What? I mean wouldn’t you prefer to be a knight in armor with a broad sword who just defeated 30 attackers who dies just after from wounds?

reply

[–] samoanjoes (58645) 3 years ago

That's can still happen. I can be bleeding but a bevy of bodacious beauties put me to bed where I die peacefully after defending their honour.

I’ll always think of him as Henry Hill, laughing his ass off with the rest of the gang in that Tiki Lounge in Queens…forever young.

What you said exactly.

Jeez, so great in so many things.
Bad news.

Underrated in "Narc".

I just found it on Amazon Prime, I’m going to watch it tonight after dinner👍

[–] samoanjoes (58645) 3 years ago

I don't want to alarm you, but they filmed most of it in Canada during the winter.

reply

[–] ShogunofYonkers (78628) 3 years ago

I’ll watch it under a quilt with a Thermos of hot chocolate.

Must watch.

Asides from seeing and enjoying his films I don't know much about the guy. Maybe it's just my own perception but I always saw him as someone who liked to party and have a good time.
