“Have another Atkins bar for lunch, Lowe. Farley & I are gonna have a large pizza & a case of Bud. Each. That’s the benefit of being a character actor, pretty boy. Nobody gives a sh!t how fat we are.”

Brian Dennehy
Actor, Golden Globe winner, tub.
July 9, 1938 – April 15, 2020.
Aged 81 years.

Most recognized for: As a chubby, old character actor, he repeatedly met the reaper on both stage & screen. To name a few: as a shot Sheriff in “Silverado,” a disemboweled detective in “Gorky Park,” and a cardiac car parts maker in “Tommy Boy”… but he garnered the most acclaim for his 274-time portrayal of Willy Loman in a stage/TV production of “Death of a Salesman.” As it turns out, all that playing dead was good practice.
