I'm just going to keep this sweet, does anybody else love this guy as much as I do? He enhanced everything he appeared in, particularly Midnight Run and Snatch...he's so good as a wiseguy in the former that I'm shocked he and Scorsese never got together, and his diatribe of Mike Reid in the former is legendary.
His chemistry with Petersen in Manhunter is one big advantage it has over Red Dragon, and I wish he had more to do in that movie. He even pops up for a minute in Saving Private Ryan, much to my delight.
Get Shorty, Out of Sight, You Kill Me...guy was awesome. I never got beyond the pilot of Miami Vice (loved it btw), but seeing that Farina has a recurring role is greater motivation.
Hate that he's gone.

But yeah, I love the shit out of Farina. One of those actors that just made everything better. He's the MVP of Get Shorty (no small task) and he gives one of my favorite fatherly performances in Out of Sight with very little screentime. He should have starred in more Elmore Leonard adaptations... Also would love to track down BUDDY FARO... created by Mark Frost and cancelled after 13 episodes. The people in the IMDb reviews have nothing but raves for it!

Love him in Get Shorty. Always was a great addition to any film.

I miss this guy everyday. Former CPD officer before he got into acting therefore anytime he played law enforcement characters, nailed it. I never gave it any thought of him working with Marty, might have been an interesting duo.
