Oh sad! Mark Blum, Brian Tarantina, now him! The MV guest stars circle is getting thinner and thinner each month ... I Did not know that he was already 81!

Sad to hear, he was a magnificent actor.

Great as Sheriff Teasle in "First Blood" and even better again in "To Catch a Killer" 

 

 

Yep...he'll always be Sheriff Will Teasle in my book!  RIP Brian ;(

I remember him all the way back as the bartender in "Arthur" with Dudley Moore.  

Tom is right.  The hits just keep on coming. So sad ;(

Sad news. Another great actor gone. He was a great actor and always excelled in his roles and he had a stellar filmography.

My favourite of his is also Best Seller. Excellent movie.

Too bad he wasn't in a better Vice episode as I never liked Amen...Send Money. He could've guest starred much better on Vice. He was also in Mann's 1979 TV movie The Jericho Mile. Brian was also the one that suggested Brian Cox to Mann for Manhunter so thanks for that, Brian. That was selfless of Brian because he wanted to play Dr. Leckter himself but he thought Brian Cox was even better for the role. He had worked with him on stage.

Rest In Peace to a great actor. Farewell Brian. You will be missed.

Wrong movie, I'm afraid. He was actually in 10 from 1979.

Amazing actor! He was also in the pilot TV movie for the 80s cop drama Hunter, starring Fred Dryer & Stepfanie Kramer...he played a psychiatrist serial killer. He will be greatly missed...RIP!! ;(

True that, he will always be Will :) It was a shame though that "To Catch a Killer"  (playing serial killer John Wayne Gacy) was not a cinematic release instead of a TV Movie because he puts in a powerful performance, his best ever in my opinion. He's so creepy and at times hard to watch that when he gets upset or angry, very intense performance and film.

Great in "The Jericho Mile" as well.

To me he was one of those actors that made acting seem easy. A natural just like Garner, Brando, Hackman and DJ.
