Yes, RIP. 'First Blood' is a great film (so much better than its tone-deaf gun-toting sequels), and much of it because of Dennehy's performance.

He was outstanding playing John Wayne Gacy in “To Catch a Killer”.

Played the asshole Harrison in the 2nd Man From Snowy River. Unfortunately was following on from Kirk Douglass so couldn't fill those shoes.

Dennehy dressed as a clown is a lasting memory of him for me.... and a spooky memory too.

This is so true (from ABC)

Dennehy played serial murderer John Wayne Gacy in the 1991 TV movie To Catch a Killer and union leader Jackie Presser in the HBO special Teamster Boss a year later.

"I try to play villains as if they're good guys and good guys as if they're villains," he said in 1992.

Heard this on JJ today. You're right, a classic that used to get a regular run from guests on Rage.
