The actor, whose body of work included TV roles on Law & Order, Luck and New Girl, and such films as Saving Private Ryan, Out of Sight and Snatch, died Monday in Scottsdale, Ariz., from a blood clot in his lung.That publication should also have added to Farina’s numerous credits the TV series Crime Story (1986-1988) and short-lived Buddy Faro (1998), both of which I enjoyed immensely.

Dennis Farina was my favorite on Law & Order. It always tickled me that his looks were so right for the part he played. His clothes, the dialogue they wrote for him, the little mustache, everything just perfect. We're losing a lot of talent this year.
I remember that early series Crime Story and thought he was great. Shame it didn't last longer but was pleased to see Dennis in other shows, including Law & Order.
