Favorite Dennis Farina roles

My vote is his role in Out of Sight. The part was perfect for his cynical, weazel-eyed wise-cracks. RIP, Dennis.

Midnight run

Get Shorty

This one by far, but not to overlook his years as Mike Torello on Crime Story, nor his final starring role in The Last Rites of Joe May.

Snatch!

If God exists, why did he make me an atheist? That's his first mistake. That and the talking snake.

That's a pretty good line from Big Trouble, but Tim Allen is in that movie and the thought of sitting through a movie with him in it does not appeal to me. At all.

Definitely Crime Story.

On tv - Lt. Mike Torello on 'Crime Story.'

In film - 'Get Shorty' (villain) and 'Out of Sight' (good guy).

Another one of our performers who is gone too soon.

The Case of the Hillside Stranglers. An all time great Dennis Farina performance.
