ultimo the great Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 Link   Dennis Farina -- who starred as Det. Joe Fontana on "Law & Order" -- died today in Scottsdale, Arizona after suffering a blood clot in his lung. He was 69.  Farina is a Hollywood legend -- who appeared in tons of classic films and TV shows including "Get Shorty," "Snatch" and "Midnight Run." He also appeared in HBO's series "Luck."  Farina -- who was born in Chicago in 1944 -- is survived by his 3 adult children from his marriage to Patricia Farina. They divorced in 1980. He also has two granddaughters and four grandsons.  Farina's rep says the actor is also survived by "the love of his life of 35 years, Marianne Cahill." It doesn't appear the two were ever married.  Before he became an actor, Farina was a cop with the Chicago Police Department from 1967 to 1985.   Bugger.

Paid Members chokeout Posted July 22, 2013 Paid Members Share Posted July 22, 2013 No one says 'Fuck' like Dennis Farina  Was surprised that he turned up in Thief the other week ( apparently his debut) getting owned by James Caan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

King Coconut Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 It's never nice to see a moustache of that caliber leave this earthly realm, but let's be honest, it didn't belong here on earth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Thunderplex Posted July 22, 2013 Paid Members Share Posted July 22, 2013 Just watching Knucklehead on netflix as I read this. Excellent actor who did a cracking job on all he appeared in. Never knew he came into acting late in life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
