I got to actually work with him on camera in an episode of “Shades of Blue,” where he sort of stared me down in intimidation in a prison scene. It’s one of the highlights of my acting life.
Ironically, I didn’t get a chance to actually speak to him, which is too bad, because I share a mutual friend with him and he would have loved to know I know her. She is devastated today. She’s known him since he was a teenager and she was his teacher in high school.
It’s a hell of a loss for all of us. He was a great actor, and by my friend’s account, a very down to Earth, pleasant man and loyal friend.
