Long a favorite.. Passes on the same date his friend John Cassavetes did in 1989.



Falk, Gazzara, Cassavetes. All gone now.

Sorry to hear this. Rest in peace Ben.

I loved the three of those guys.

Played the infamous Brad Wesley in the best it's so bad it's good movie ever, Road House.

I always watched Run For Your Life .....

:tro:

As great as his stage and early film career was, I liked how he was able to introduce himself to a whole new generation of filmgoers with great turns in 3 late '90's cult classics: The Big Lebowski as Jackie Treehorn, in the terrific Buffalo '66 as Vincent Gallo's father as well as in the The Spanish Prisoner.

RIP..Ben

Best scene evah:

1959 he was the defendant in Anatomy of a Murder..Jimmy Stewart and George C Scott, two of the best in a great movie....RIP Ben...
