R.I.P. Mr. Prosky! You will be remembered for all your great roles!
I'll always remember the "acting coach" who dabbled in the KGB
in "Outrageous Fortune!" Hilarious!
"Da! They screwed me too!"
You will be remembered as one of the greats! -

Never forget his monologue in "Thief" when he shakes down James Caan"Look at him.I said f*(%g look at him!Look at what happened to you friend because you gotta go against the way things go downYou got carshousesa wifekid and I own the paper on your whole f#$@!ng life"
or the dark and mysterious Judge in "The Natural""The fact is Pop Fisher is a jinxed man and neither you or all the Roy Hobs in the world is going to change that"
And the benevolent news director in "Broadcast News""I'm not suggesting the worst will happenbut someone with your brilliancegets nibbles now and thenmaybe you should start checking them out" -

Very sad to hear about Robert Prosky. I mostly remember him from his stint on Hill Street Blues in the 80s "Let's do it to them before they do it to us."
I also remember him as "Bear" in The Lords of Discipline an underrated 80s flick that I think only I liked.
My prayers for his family. He'll be missed. -

R.I.P. to one of our finest character actors.
This has been a horrific week of losses for show business. Nina Foch, Beverly Garland and Forrest J. Ackerman have all passed away within the last 7 days.
My heart is breaking. -

Agreed with all the sentiments so far. Along with Philip Bosco, one of the great modern 'oh THAT guy' character actors. Always could be relied upon to bring a warmth and grandfatherly humanity to every role he took on. You will be missed Robert!!
RIP

Man, what a sad news. Robert was UNFORGETTABLE in Michael Mann's THIEF ; his portrayal of Leo was one of the most scariest performance ever. It's a terrible loss for american cinema.
May he rest in peace.
Damn, that's a sad loss. He was such a great actor. Will miss him in the movies. RIP Robert!
