Wow! Truly shocking. A very, very good character actor. I usually took his presence in a movie as enough evidence on its own to watch it.

Unfortunate, he was a very talented actor. RIP
IMDB search shows that he still has work coming out in post production and still filming.

Wow that sucks, such a great actor all the way back to Boogie Nights (probably before that as well). Consistently put out great performances no matter what the movie. Seemed like a good person too from all accounts.

Not that it really matters, but how does this effect The Hunger Games series? Guess they'll need to retool just like Fast and Furious without Paul Walker.

Yeah, dunno if I'd trust that site with their other "headlines". I doubt they have any credibility.

What's up with all the hoax/non-hoax crap these days. It seems like when ever a celebrity dies these days there are always initial stories that it's all a hoax.

Brandt B. Brandt is one of my favourite movie characters. Such a talent.

One of the great actors of this generation. Sad news.

His performance in Capote is still one of my all time favourites.

Wasn't a huge fan or knowledgeable of what he's done, but I really loved him in Mission Impossible.
