Great character actor and enjoyed his performances in Elmore Leonard's works (Out of Sight, Get Shorty).

Avi: Eighty-six carats.
Rosebud: Where?
Avi: London.
Rosebud: London?
Avi: London.
Avi's Colleague: London?
Avi: Yes, London. You know: fish, chips, cup 'o tea, bad food, worse weather, Mary fucking Poppins... LONDON.

You have anything to declare?

Yeah, don't go to England

In the Chicago PD from 1967 to 1985, that explains a lot.
He had some serious 'cop chops'.

Crime Story was awesome. I miss that show.

Me, too. It incidentally launched my teenage crush on Darlanne Fluegel.

Here is Farina doing an awesome job as the villain in Midnight Run (POSSIBLY NSFW due to profanity):

I wouldn't want to be a Principal Role on Law & Order.

Jerry Orbach died at 69 as well.

Loved "Midnight run", Dennis was an awesome mobster and they wrote so many LOL lines for him, "I'm gonna bury this phone in your fucking skull!", RIP Dennis, you were a treat on the screen for all of us..

Crime Story was awesome. I miss that show.

He was terrific on that show. I remember Del Shannon's "Runaway" as the theme song.
