Dennis Farina Dies

I enjoyed this actor in every show he was in. I loved his roles in Miami Vice in the 1980's and thought he stole the show in Midnight Run. A couple of weeks ago I watched Thief, and realized he had a small part in that movie. His first acting gig I guess. Life is short and as one of his contemporaries I hate to see him go so young.
 
What happened to Farina on Law and Order? Did he decide to quit the series or was it the producer's idea? It was tough to fill Jerry Orbach's shoes, but I thought that Farina did a good job.
 
I think he left on his own. A weekly series had to be a heck of a grind. That female he was replaced with was not at all credible. I think she's the reason the show wasn't extended long enough to beat Gunsmoke's run.
 
I thought he was already dead.

This explains why "New Girl" didn't say "in memory" when they killed off Nick's father.

Nick's mother has a new TV series this fall. I don't guess she's on enough for that to be a problem.
