Plenty of actors invest time doing research for their roles, but most of them had nothing on Dennis Farina. Farina, who died July 22 of a blood clot in his lung, spent nearly two decades as a Chicago cop, a career that led him to work as a consultant for director Michael Mann.

Put moron number two on the phone.” –Midnight Run “They say the fucking smog is the fucking reason you have such beautiful fucking sunsets.” –Get Shorty “Shut up and sit down, you big, bald fuck. I don't like leaving my own country, Doug, and I especially don't like leaving it for anything less then warm sandy beaches, and cocktails with little straw hats.” –Snatch “It's oaky . . . Oh, yeah, and smoky. I detect . . . bacon fat . . . laced with honey melon.” –Bottle Shock “There's no rule that says that I can’t come over here and fart on your entree. But I don’t do it. Why? Because it's not good manners.” –Big Trouble “Buried underneath all of this is a history; history of Las Vegas. It's the place where Moe Dalitz opened up his first burlesque club. Place where you can find a 13-year-old in a whorehouse if that was your pleasure. It was a place where the Jews and the blacks had to enter the casinos through rear entrances. By the way, on this corner right here, I stabbed a bum.” –The Grand To Ray, who is wearing an "FBI" t-shirt: “Hey Ray, do you ever wear one that says ‘undercover?’” –Out of Sight “Good! Godammit, that's good! Because if you had [slept with my daughter], John, I was gonna kick your balls up into your head and let them rattle around in your skull like dice in a Yahtzee cup. Have a good one.” –Stealing Harvard “Yeah well, I hope you drive better than you fucking spell, jack-off. My name is Barboni, not Barbone, OK?” –Get Shorty “Make yourself a sandwich, drink a glass of milk. Do some fuckin' thing.” –Midnight Run ![]() http://www.chicagomag.com/Chicago-Magazine/The-312/July-2013/Dennis-Farina/ |
