Entertainment & Music Brian Dennehy Tribute Thread

[Gasometer]

Brian was in 1 out of every 5 movies in the 80's and early 90's.

The great man seems to have retired to the stage these days.

His John Wayne Gacey scared the crap out of me.

 

[Old Skool]

^^^^^ Yep, his portrayal of Gacy was superb.

 

[Messenger]

Soon to be a Chism avatar...

 

[grizzlym]

What's with that?

 

[Old Skool]

The rooster/smoking infant avatars have all been taken.

 

[grizzlym]

That's me on the left, by the way.

Incidentally, I've told my kids from a very young age that all clowns are evil.

True story here: walked up to polling booth about 4 years ago holding my 3 year old son. The unctuous Liberal party peep accosted me only to be greeted by my son screaming, 'go away you horrible clown'. I was prouder than Jeffrey Edelsten's taxidermist. I bought the little munter an icecream afterwards too

The first thing I thought of when I saw the thread title.

I hated clowns growing up. Thanks to this scene.

"They all float down here. When you're down here you'll float too."

 

[grizzlym]

I hate that scene. Just seeing the visual without the context of the movie is still freakin' creepy... what's a clown doing down a drain.... the kid... oh my...

I now feel the need to watch IT for the first time in about 15 years.

I am a fan of his work, but that whole pretending to be a Vietnam Vet thing is a bit weird.

He said in interviews he served in Vietnam, I think even telling a story about getting shot in the leg until eventually revealing he had made it all up. Check the 'early years' bit of his Wiki -
