Larger than life, generous to a fault, a proud and devoted father and grandfather, he will be missed by his wife Jennifer, family and many friends.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I will keep this article to a minimum as I believe everyone has their way to deal with the death of someone that may have brought them joy through the medium of acting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I remember seeing him in <em>Dynasty<\/em> reruns my mother would watch, but like many of you it is later films where I first was introduced to Dennehy. <em>Tommy Boy<\/em> is my first memory of Brian Dennehy, where he played Big Tom Callahan, owner of Callahan Auto and father to the aforementioned Tommy boy, played by Chris Farley (1964-1997). After this I remembered \u2018hey that\u2019s the guy from First Blood\u2019, and yep, he played Sheriff William Teasel, antagonist to Rambo. Dennehy played Romeo\u2019s father Ted Montague in Baz Luhrmann\u2019s <em>Romeo + Juliet<\/em>, and Willy Loman in the 2000 TV movie<em> Death of a Salesman<\/em>. Dennehy won a Golden Globe for the TV movie and also went on to play this role on stage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However you remember him, just know the man loved his craft and enjoyed bringing these characters to life. RIP Big Tom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery columns-3 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\"><ul class=\"blocks-gallery-grid\"><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"434\" src=\"https:\/\/theculturednerd.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/bd6-1024x434.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"22067\" data-link=\"https:\/\/theculturednerd.org\/?attachment_id=22067\" class=\"wp-image-22067\" srcset=\"https:\/\/theculturednerd.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/bd6-1024x434.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/theculturednerd.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/bd6-300x127.jpg 300w, https:\/\/theculturednerd.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/bd6-768x325.jpg 768w, https:\/\/theculturednerd.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/bd6-1536x651.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/theculturednerd.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/bd6.jpg 1777w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"blocks-gallery-item__caption\">Sheriff William Teasel: First Blood (1982)<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"720\" height=\"305\" src=\"https:\/\/theculturednerd.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/bd5.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"22068\" data-link=\"https:\/\/theculturednerd.org\/?attachment_id=22068\" class=\"wp-image-22068\" srcset=\"https:\/\/theculturednerd.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/bd5.jpg 720w, https:\/\/theculturednerd.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/bd5-300x127.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 720px) 100vw, 720px\" \/><figcaption class=\"blocks-gallery-item__caption\">Sheriff William Teasel: First Blood (1982)<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"720\" height=\"405\" src=\"https:\/\/theculturednerd.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/bd3.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"22069\" data-link=\"https:\/\/theculturednerd.org\/?attachment_id=22069\" class=\"wp-image-22069\" srcset=\"https:\/\/theculturednerd.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/bd3.jpg 720w, https:\/\/theculturednerd.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/bd3-300x169.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 720px) 100vw, 720px\" \/><figcaption class=\"blocks-gallery-item__caption\">Big Tom Callahan: Tommy Boy (1995)<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"852\" height=\"480\" src=\"https:\/\/theculturednerd.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/bd2.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"22070\" data-link=\"https:\/\/theculturednerd.org\/?attachment_id=22070\" class=\"wp-image-22070\" srcset=\"https:\/\/theculturednerd.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/bd2.jpg 852w, https:\/\/theculturednerd.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/bd2-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/theculturednerd.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/bd2-768x433.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 852px) 100vw, 852px\" \/><figcaption class=\"blocks-gallery-item__caption\">Ted Montague: Romeo + Juliet (1996)<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"469\" src=\"https:\/\/theculturednerd.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/bd1-1024x469.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"22071\" data-link=\"https:\/\/theculturednerd.org\/?attachment_id=22071\" class=\"wp-image-22071\" srcset=\"https:\/\/theculturednerd.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/bd1-1024x469.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/theculturednerd.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/bd1-300x137.jpg 300w, https:\/\/theculturednerd.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/bd1-768x352.jpg 768w, https:\/\/theculturednerd.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/bd1-1536x703.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/theculturednerd.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/bd1.jpg 1728w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"810\" height=\"472\" src=\"https:\/\/theculturednerd.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/death-of-a-salesman.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"22072\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/theculturednerd.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/death-of-a-salesman.jpg\" data-link=\"https:\/\/theculturednerd.org\/?attachment_id=22072\" class=\"wp-image-22072\" srcset=\"https:\/\/theculturednerd.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/death-of-a-salesman.jpg 810w, https:\/\/theculturednerd.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/death-of-a-salesman-300x175.jpg 300w, https:\/\/theculturednerd.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/death-of-a-salesman-768x448.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 810px) 100vw, 810px\" \/><figcaption class=\"blocks-gallery-item__caption\">Willy Loman in  &#8220;Death of a Salesman&#8221;
