Sad to hear about the passing of Dennis Farina, who died in Scottsdale earlier today of a blood clot in his lung. He was 69. Apparently he was on "Law and Order" and "Luck" in recent years, but to me he will always be sexy Lt. Mike Torello. While logic would have dictated that Anthony Denison (as mobster Ray Luca) would have drawn me to watching "Crime Story" as a young man, it was Farina's tough-guy detective that lured me in.
When Debbie Harry guest starred as Ray's girlfriend, all I could think is that she got robbed of a hot scene with Lt. Torello -- and Ray cheated on her! RIP, Dennis.
