I never saw Do the Right Thing, but remember him as one of the cops from Sister Act. RIP

RIP

He was also in the Spiderman moves (The real spiderman movies with Tobey).

He did not seem that old. He was one of those guys that you see often but probably don't recognize the name.

I remember him mostly as the physical therapist in Regarding Henry.

RIP. He seemed like a cool guy.

To me he was always Pip on The Job (the beta version of Rescue Me), an ABC comedy probably about a decade ahead of its time. This badass looking cop who was pretty much a puss completely whipped by his wife and was the angel to Denis Leary's devil.

Yep - I just got done re-watching that series earlier this year and it was the first thing I thought of when I saw the news. RIP

The Job was definitely ahead of its time - it's too bad it could have wound up on FX, though Rescue Me was essentially the same show but with firefighters and a little more dramatic.
