Bill Batts is Frank Vincent. And he gets more than even in Casino.

Anyways blood clot sucks, only 69 years old. Luck was the last thing I can remember him doing and he was solid in that show.

For me, Dennis Farina was Crime Story. I just loved that show. Sad to hear he's passed.

Damn - get shorty is his best role in my opinion.

"#### you ####ball"

**EDIT - damn that just reminded that two big names from that movie have died in the last month. Travolta and DeVito better watch their steps.

Whoa, was just watching Snatch last night. To bad, the guy was a great actor.

At 69 he still had some great years left in him.

Wow, he was truly one of my favourite actors and his persona spoke clearly in whatever role he played. You always expected a classic f-bomb to burst out with his cocky New York-Italian swagger.

Will be missed. RIP

Shocked by this. He was a very entertaining actor and was thrilling to watch. Loved him in Snatch.
