RIP.
Haven’t seen him in anything lately, but he was fairly prolific back in the 80s
First Blood, Silverado, and many many others.....

He was great in Cocoon and Presumed Innocent. He was short lived in Tommy Boy so that was not much of a role for screen time.
Wonder what's going to happen now to Callahan's?
RIP Brian Dennehy

Yeah, well...
Piss on him.
Lying fuck claimed for years he was wounded in combat in Vietnam; only when he was stone cold busted did he admit to making it up. Never stepped foot in country much less be in the vicinity of a red hot zinger headed in his direction.
We all die.

Footballer and rugby player, yep, can see that.
Remember that move where he was the town bully (based on a true story). My fav role for him.
Great actor.

Heh, never had heard this. Checks out, though. So weird. Served honorably in Marines, then tainted his entire legacy by lying about seeing combat.

Very underrated movie. Dennehy was very good in it. Harrison Ford though walked a fine line between being plausible as the framed man or the actual perp. Great flick.

I never heard that also. I have a hard time with stolen valor being a Viet Nam combat retiree myself. If that is true, my opinion of him would drop about 10 points.....sad.

He was a great actor. I'm just going to pretend like I never heard about the stolen valor crap, since I never heard about it before today. I'm sure he paid a price for it.
He was awesome in Silverado and Rambo, and pretty much everything else I saw him in. And I concur about Presumed Innocent; that movie was amazing. Absolutely didn't see that twist coming. At all. Although I thought the late great Raul Julia blew everybody else away. He should have won an Oscar for his portrayal of Sandy Stern. Probably wasn't even nominated.
Dennehy was also the father of Elizabeth Dennehy, who played Commander Shelby in Star Trek.
RIP :(

A good movie that's often overlooked with him and James Woods is "Best Seller" where woods is a hit man and he's a retired cop turned author...and Woods wants him to write a book about his experiences. There's a great scene where woods kills a guy in a photo booth.
