Voodoo Vice Dealer Posted July 22, 2017 Report Share Posted July 22, 2017 Unbelievable...we lost so many great actors this year! Miguel Ferrer, Bill Paxton and now him...very sad. I remember him from Cat People (1982) and 187 (1997). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sonny-Burnett Posted July 22, 2017 Report Share Posted July 22, 2017 I will always remember him as Thurmond in one of my favorite eps, as he struggled with his role as defense counsel for a crime boss, knowing full well his clients' culpability in many crimes and even homicides. But he had a conscience.....rare for attorneys I know. (kidding) Great character actor with quite the resume on ImDb. Saw him recently in CSI Miami.

agent 47 Posted July 22, 2017 Report Share Posted July 22, 2017 Very heartbreaking. He was a fantastic actor who had very good roles on two of my favorite shows (Vice of course and as Vin Makazian on the first season of The Sopranos) and was one of those "that guy" actors showing up in a lot of movie roles of various sizes and making the best of even weaker material. Although it's been a long while since I've seen it I also remember him well in Paul Schrader's remake of Cat People. R.I.P. John. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony D. Posted July 23, 2017 Report Share Posted July 23, 2017 The scene in "One Way Ticket" is one that is very memorable to me. John Heard will be surely missed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators James Posted July 23, 2017 Administrators Report Share Posted July 23, 2017 Sad news, RIP! "Aw the hell with it. You wanna be dead? Bang, you're dead" I'll probably never watch that scene the same again, or at least for a while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
