Very saddened to hear about Mr. Farina.
Loved him in Get Shorty.
The performance that always sticks with me, though, is one he did early in his career in a television movie “The Case of the Hillside Stranglers”.
He and Billy Zane were so creeeeepy in that movie. The performances still haunt me . . . they made these murderers terrifyingly real. I’ve never forgotten that movie and Farina’s performance in it. It takes a really good actor to immerse himself in such a gawdawful character so convincingly.
RIP. I thought he was hilarious in Get Shorty.
I especially enjoyed his scenes with Jennifer Lopez in “Out of Sight”. They had great chemistry together and he was great as the careing and tender dad who gave her little girl a gun for her birthday. Such a short, but meaningful role. He was a treat when his scenes came up.
“To the fucking airport!”
Ray “Bones” Barboni
He was SOOOO convincing in each role.
R.I.P. Mr. Farina.
Enjoyed your performances in Crime Story (dubbed version) back then in the 80s or early 90s (outside US), as well as some of your silver screen efforts (original soundtrack).
Snatch was a perfect film for him. “Sit down you big bald fuck!”
So great in Midnight Run…
Sorry to hear this sad news.
