ZitatUS actor Brian Dennehy, whose chiselled jaw and towering figure featured in some 40 films, has died at the age of 81, of natural causes in Connecticut.
On screen he played macho roles like the sheriff who jails Rambo in First Blood and portrayed the serial killer John Wayne Gacy in To Catch A Killer.
His work brought him a Golden Globe and six Emmy nominations.
But Dennehy was equally at home playing the classics on stage, and won two Tony Awards.
It was cardiac arrest what got him, and I'm sorry to say he was guilty of an act of Stolen Valor. having falsely claimed to have served and been wounded in Vietnam. He was a Marine for 4 years but never went to 'Nam.
