Man, quite a shock to hear. I've enjoyed him in practically everything I've seen him in. I just recently re-watched The Phantom (1996), and even though he wasn't the lead, he played the main villain and stole the movie completely.
Was great in smaller roles in The Eagle Has Landed, and 1941. As the lead in Hair and The Pursuit of D.B. Cooper, he was great in those. But I really enjoyed his co-starring effort in Flashpoint with Kris Kristofferson where he was a Border Patrolman who along with his partner, find a buried jeep in the desert, with almost a million dollars in it and a rifle, along with a skeleton. The two men report it and then find their lives in danger. Vastly underrated movie. Deep Rising is one of my favorite creature-feature type movies and he and the whole cast are really funny in it, although it's a horror/action movie. Still, the lauighs are intended.
I never saw what is probably his signature role, Prince of the City but intend to rectify that soon.
The latest thing I saw him in was a Hallmark Channel series called Chesapeake Shores where he played the patriarch of the featured family in the show. I recall there being an in-joke where he talks about being told he looks "like that 'Prince of the City' guy." Nice.
Looking at his resume, I see that he did almost as many TV-movies as cinematic films, and some of them look really good. Will have to do a deep dive on some of them.
Godspeed, Treat.
