Great actor - everything I ever saw him in, I liked - especially his TV movies - like Dummy, Skokie, In Broad Daylight - his portrayal of creepy slimeball serial killer John Wayne Gacy - heck he even played Buford Pusser

His movies, like Cocoon, FIST, Best Seller, Last of the Finest, and especially his portrayal of Sheriff Will Teasle in First Blood, were also terrific - his B movies, tops - Indio, w/Marvelous Marvin Hagler no less, comes to mind
RIP, sir

Damn. What an actor. Ever seen Tommy Boy? His limited role was pretty much the plot of that great movie too.

He will be missed. 🙁

What a great. he puched his ticket to the elite section with the Walking Tall movies. God could you hate another person as much as the d*ckhead Sherrif he played.

The 1st & original Walking Tall w/Joe Don Baker is really the go-to of those films imo - it’s one of the truly great good guy-bad guy action films, and Brian portrayed Sheriff Buford Pusser well years later in the TV movie A Real American Hero
