This guy didn't have any iconic roles, but he was in a lot of movies and TV shows. When you saw him on screen, you'd say "hey it's that guy!"

My first real introduction to him was as the honor-bound criminal in "The Stand."
I was always confusing him with someone else whose name I can't remember. Not any more!

I didn't realize that he was the vice president in Iron Man 3. Also, Eric Forman's Dad kills him in Robocop.

He's the "war, it's faaaaaaaantastic" guy in Hot Shots Part Deux. I'll miss him.

He may not have had a particular role that defined him, but he was a character actor who's name Mr. Z and I always remembered. Sometimes that was enough to watch something he was in, at least for Mr. Z. I think my favorites are still The Stand and Shan-Yu in Mulan.

He was a great, working, character actor. And his parents were frikkin Hollywood Royalty. And his little cousin has a decent career in the business, George Clooney.

I will always remember him as a prickly, insensitive, assholish FBI agent from Twin Peaks.

Oh damn, that was him. He was great in that

I'll always remember him as Bob Morton, from Robocop.

Never knew they were related: Clooney and him, I mean.

He's done tons of work. Wow. F#ck cancer.
