Goddamn. One of my favorites. I first saw him in the TV series Crime Story in the 80s. He was in some of my favorite movies (Snatch, Get Shorty, Midnight Run), and delivered some great lines ("Fuck you, fuckball!). RIP.

Did you ever see him as the eccentric hotel manager on Tales From the Crypt? He was hilarious in a great episode starring Timothy Dalton. The guy was so great at playing cops and mobsters but he could do many different roles very well. I believe he was originally a real-life detective who became an adviser to a film then an actor IIRC.

yes. he was good at playing cops because he used to be a chicago cop. i had been watching all the seasons of tales from the crypt with my gf but haven't come across his episode yet - might have to continue that run.

i didn't mind his presentation of unsolved mysteries, despite the ravage robert stack fan blacklash.

R.I.P. great actor.

on a side note, I wonder if his health status had anything to do with him being killed off on "New Girl", as he added alot of depth and storyline to the Nick character.

I definitely thought it could've been one of those "once a season" cameo roles.

I remember when he did a few appearances on Miami Vice back in the 80's.
