R.I.P. Dennis Farina R.I.P. Dennis Farina: How a Chicago cop became a character actor Dennis Farina, who died Monday morning at the age of 69 of a blood clot in his lung, had two distinct careers. He was a veteran Chicago police officer until a chance meeting with director Michael Mann, who was in the Windy City to make his first feature film, 1981's "Thief," changed his career path.

I always liked Dennis as an actor. One of my favorite things he did many years ago was the old 'Crime Story' series. Rest in Peace, Dennis. "Freedom is just Chaos, with better lighting." Alan Dean Foster
