I adored him. He played John Wayne Gacy so well the hairs on the back of my neck stood up and ran away.

That sucks. I'm pretty sure he was in every single movie made in the 1980s.

RIP

Sorry to hear this. I liked him in many of his films. And like Willow Tree, Cocoon was also my favorite. RIP, Mr. Dennehy.

I think it was a made for tv movie. So chilling. At one point he tells this cop with this LOOK on his face, Whattsa matter? Don't you know clowns can get away with murder?

Or get away with anything. Been years, lol!

He was, wasn't he? LOL!

Lately, I've been thinking of doing some serious research to find a movie Samuel Jackson hasn't been in.

That's the workinest sonnabitch I've ever seen.

Very sad to read this news. When looking for something to watch on TV I would watch anything with Brian Dennehy in it. He was a gentle giant and a charismatic actor. He struck me as a decent and kind human being. I'm happy his films will be around for a long, long, time and today I am going to find one on Amazon Prime and watch it as a tribute to this fine man. RIP.

My respects to the family of Brian Dennehy. He was a big guy and typically they don't live a long time.
He will be missed.
