RIP Bob Rickert (Lenny Von Dohlen)

Sad news to report, actor Lenny Von Dohlen who played the low level criminal, Bob Rickert, in Season 1’s “Give A Little, Take A Little” has died. 

Not a great performance but I would put some blame on the inexperienced director Bobby Roth as well.

R.I.P.

It’s sad he died. I remember him best from “Twin Peaks.”

I don’t think there was anything wrong with his performance. His character was just very shy and non-confrontational. I think that’s why Crockett treated him the way he did and let him off. He would have roughed him up if he was just a ruthless, smug criminal.

You have it spot on Andrew, I was saying this to Matt a couple of years ago that if his scene at the dock warehouse was perfectly fine and how the rest of his scenes were a bit off = the director.

He was a good actor, even at this point he was impressive if you saw Electric Dreams in the same year and he was wonderful in Twin Peaks.

RIP. Taken way too early.
