Brian Dennehy, the regular-guy actor whose bulldog build, good-guy demeanor and no-nonsense approach meshed in an array of memorable roles for film, television and the theater, has died. He was 81.

Dennehy died Wednesday night of natural causes in Connecticut, his daughter Elizabeth said.

“It is with heavy hearts we announce that our father, Brian passed away last night from natural causes, not Covid-related," she wrote on Twitter. "Larger than life, generous to a fault, a proud and devoted father and grandfather, he will be missed by his wife Jennifer, family and many friends."

I always liked him. May He Rest In Peace.

I always enjoyed his acting as well. We lost a good one.

Agree that he was fun to watch. Loved him as the bad cop in First Blood, but lots of other great performances as well.

R.I.P. Mr Dennehy
