Actor Dennis Farina died...

[Ronin13]

He was one of the greats, and not the most well known but always stealing scenes kind of actors... He played on Law & Order for several years, and, my favorite role of his, Cousin Avi in Snatch- best line:

Yes, London. You know: fish, chips, cup 'o tea, bad food, worse weather, Mary fucking Poppins... LONDON.
Here's the story from Fox News:

And I didn't know he was a Chicago cop for a number of years before becoming an actor. He was a great actor and will be missed. :(

"Why do they call him "The Bullet Dodger?"

"Cause he dodges bullets, Avi."

I couldn't believe it when I saw the story.

Frankly, I can't imagine that he was only 69; he seemed much older.

Crime Story. Best crime series ever, including the theme music.
Complete with an atomic bomb test outside Vegas doing in some of the bad guys.

That really sucks. I always thought he was great in the movie Snatch.

Ray "Bones" Barboni (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0001199/?ref_=tt_trv_qu): [noticing Ronnie likes to flash his gun a lot] You must be one of those quick-draw artists, the way you've got your gun down on your belt like that.
Ronnie Wingate (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0340973/?ref_=tt_trv_qu): Whatta you got there, a Wop 9? Fuckin' Fiat of guns, always jammin' on you at the wrong time.
[Bones nods, smiles and shoots him 4 times]

RIP
