Watching Snatch tonight, and remembering the greatness that was Dennis Farina. NSFW.

Good one. He was so much better as a heavy in a comedy movie.

He peaked in Crime Story.

One of the most-underrated tv shows ever.

With his almost 20 years on the Chicago Police Department before becoming an actor, he carried good credibility as a cop OR an organized crime figure.

This brings back good memories when I lived with my grandparents for a while and we watched this weekly. Great show.

Ray Bones is one of the best characters and he was perfect for that role

I am saying this with no BS, I legit believe Farina should have won an Oscar for Get Shorty.

It's legitemetly one of the best comedic film performances I've ever seen.

The film itself is also maybe the.ost underrated movies of the 90s. I still think it's Travolta's best movie and character behind only Pulp Fiction.

I didn't know this and it explains why I got a sense of legitimacy from him in a lot of his roles. He was definitely a quality actor

On long road trips I play this purely for the dialogue. It's almost note perfect.

Generally the best thing in whatever he was in.

Get Shorty and Midnight Run are favorites of mine specifically because of him as a smartass.
