I had no idea who it was by name, but as soon as I saw the picture I remember seeing him in several movies/shows.

According to Deadline, actor Miguel Ferrer—probably best known to A.V. Club readers for his work on Twin Peaks, though he also had prominent roles on NCIS: Los Angeles, Crossing Jordan, and in RoboCop—has died today after a battle with cancer. He was 61.

Born in Santa Monica, California in 1955, Ferrer was the son of Academy Award-winner José Ferrer and Rosemary Clooney, making him the first cousin of George Clooney. Deadline says he was “an accomplished drummer” before he became an actor, having recorded with The Who’s Keith Moon and toured with his mother and Bing Crosby. His first acting job came in 1981, when he appeared on an episode of Magnum, P.I., and he began getting more and more frequent gigs throughout the ‘80s.

Ferrer is known for a handful of memorable roles, and the first of them came in 1987, when he appeared in Paul Verhoeven’s RoboCop as Bob Morton, the man who pushes for the implementation of the RoboCop program and then gets killed for his effort. His death also happens to be one of the most iconic scenes of the whole movie:

His career took off even more in the ‘90s, perhaps thanks to his memorable appearance in Twin Peaks as Albert Rosenfeld, a cynical, by-the-book FBI agent who—like most people on that show—later proved to have a lot more depth than it seemed at first.

After Twin Peaks, Ferrer appeared in The Stand, Broken Badges, On The Air, and he had regular roles on Crossing Jordan, Desperate Housewives, Adventure Time, and—most recently—on NCIS: Los Angeles.

Ferrer was set to reprise his role as Rosenfeld in Showtime’s Twin Peaks revival, though it’s unclear if his death will affect that at all. Also, just this morning The Hollywood Reporter announced that he will be playing iconic DC Comics villain Deathstroke in the animated film Teen Titans: The Judas Contract. His work on that film had been completed.

Ferrer is survived by his wife and two sons.

I didn't know he was Jose Ferrer and Rosemary Clooney's son, of course I didn't know his name either. He was a good actor, RIP.

I've never seen this man before in my life. Is this some kind of hoax?

**** 2017!!!!!:cuss:

whats up with people dying after they have finished a big production. this guy and the new twin peaks, carrie fisher, and i know i am missing someone else. (something like six former/current star wars actors died last year.)

ROFL

It's part of their contract.

Nope. Very good character actor. You never saw Traffic? Worth a watch.

It is disheartening to see. More and more people I know are getting diagnosed with cancer, too. One of my friends just started chemo this past Monday for testicular cancer. He has one left now. The chemo has been giving him fits, waking him in the middle of the night so he can hover near a trash bin. His treatment is different than mine, but I've been offering as much advice and insight as I can. Cancer is a hideous malady and I pray that those of you who have not been afflicted with it never are.

I've never heard of Traffic. Is that some kind of a hoax?

Really? Is this post some kind of hoax?
He worked for decades in the biz.

also RIP in peace

Y'all look at a quality post here.

Never heard of him

RIP MacIntosh.

"Traffic was critically acclaimed and earned numerous awards, including four Oscars: Best Director for Steven Soderbergh, Best Supporting Actor for Benicio del Toro, Best Adapted Screenplay for Stephen Gaghan and Best Film Editing for Stephen Mirrione. It was also a commercial success with a worldwide box-office revenue total of $207.5 million, well above its estimated $46 million budget."

RIP...

"Thats life in the big city"

Nevermind! I didn't see the robocop deal. Yes he was awesome in that

Dammit that dude could act. Liked him in everything I seen of his RIP.

RIP Bob Morton

Great character actor, he had one of those faces that seem believable in many different roles... dude was kinda B list Hollywood royalty

61 is WAY too young for anyone, RIP

like the NFL...It's who you know...Hollywood is no different

i personally, and seriously recommend that your friend should begin a course of THC therapy...

yeah, i know, i'm a life-long stoner and wouldn't know the difference but really...

when my older brother was dying of brain tumors, he finally asked me to smoke a joint with him...,

and it really helped him get through the worst of the chemo...

keep in mind this was a stereotypical suburban professional raised in church a and married before the sexual revolution, hippiedom and acceptance of pot among youger people...

he was so straight that he never left the boy scouts of america organization serving in some capacity or another...

the idea of using illicit drugs was anathema and worse to him, but when he finally tried it, he was sorry he had waited so long...

pretty much same story with my sister, who was getting chemo for colon cancer and was not only straight but religiously opposed to all drug use...

but she was so glad her son and i turned her on (at the age of 70 or so)...

if he's already doing this otoh, nm...

Billy Mumy's best friend.

RIP

He did great voice overs...Vandall Savage on Young Justice is one of my favorites and being the creator of Robocop ;)

If I were an actor, I'd be a "character" actor like this guy. Lot's of work.

With a butt ugly face like yours, the ONLY work you would be able to get is as a "character"

Then again I am off work tomorrow and am inebriated, so MAYBE I'm wrong... but I doubt it

I look like a medium blonde Robbie Benson. Suck it!

:titus: :fire:

They never read the fine print

I stand corrected, you're a megastar!

Its ok, we cant all be as good looking as me

I'm like Lee Majors to your Robbie Benson, loser

:D

I remember him from The Stand.

RIP. His last few appearances on NCIS: Los Angeles his illness was noticeable. He was thin (thinner than usual), had a lump on his jaw and had a speech impediment that seemed to get worse with every show. My wife noticed it first and I searched online to see if he was sick but didn't find anything.

Yeah, I had noticed that his voice sounded strange. Too bad, I like his characters. RIP.

Yep, as Lloyd, Randall Flagg's right hand man. It was the first thing I remember seeing him in.

"Now you listen to me. While I will admit to a certain cynicism, the fact is that I am a naysayer and hatchetman in the fight against violence. I pride myself in taking a punch and I'll gladly take another because I choose to live my life in the company of Gandhi and King. My concerns are global. I reject absolutely revenge, aggression, and retaliation. The foundation of such a method... is love. I love you Sheriff Truman."

Dang, there were some great scenes in Twin Peaks

I've got another big word for you: Immunity.

Kurtwood Smith kicked ass in that movie as well.
