Lest we forget: Brian Dennehy

April 16, 2020

One of my favorite character actors (Silverado, being my go-to villain role of his), Brian Dennehy has died at the age of 81.

Baseball connections: Dennehy played the put-upon manager, John Schiffner, in the so-so Summer Catch (2001).

He was also the voice of Babe Ruth in the animated kids’ movie, Everyone’s Hero (2006).

And “Pop” in the heretofore-unheard-of-to-me but multiple indie award-winning War Eagle, Arkansas (2007). Surprisingly veteran cast in this one: in addition to Dennehy, there was James McDaniel, Mary Kay Place, and Mare Winningham.
