They Don't Make His Kind Anymore
I met Brian in a bar, acted in a movie with him but the stage was what he loved. In rehearsal he said, “This is it, kid.” He was a fellow nutmegger, mick and a Marine. They don’t make his kind anymore. ❤️to his family. https://t.co/0TLeo2MAyt

A Deep Loss
Brian Dennehy was flat out one of my favorite actors who ever lived. I never met him, but I worshipped the man. I feel a deep loss from this. Gonna watch Silverado tonight, for sure, because to me, that's a performance only Dennehy could have given. Cobb is so alive, so textured. https://t.co/9pEFQLe07t

A True Giant
As a kid, the first time I saw Brian Dennehy on the big screen was in Rowdy Herrington's Chicago boxing movie GLADIATOR in 1992. The last time I saw Dennehy on the big screen was in Malick's KNIGHT OF CUPS.
Rest in Peace to a true giant in acting, in every sense of the word. pic.twitter.com/QJzfi6BJsK

Thank You for Raising the Bar
Brian Dennehy taught me that the top of the head was the hardest part of the body. Handy advice. A great actor and a huge loss, thank you for raising the bar for the bad guys of Hollywood. RIP pic.twitter.com/twthA6iZUh

Just a Great Performer
Adios, Brian Dennehy. His Willy Loman in the Goodman Theatre production of Death of a Salesman in Chicago was one of the greatest acting feats I've seen. Just a great performer.

You Badass
Brian Dennehy in FIRST BLOOD is up there with Vic Morrow in THE BAD NEWS BEARS in terms of my ideal cinematic heavy: the genuine humanity and grounded, conflicted psychology of the performance only deepens your loathing of the guy. Rest in peace, you badass. pic.twitter.com/RoyUw2FQVZ
