Dan O'Herlihy
May 1, 1919 - Feb. 17, 2005
A great character actor who played many roles from the '40s right up until the late 1990s, and who died three years ago today. You don't know the name, not really, but you know the roles he played. He was Grig in The Last Starfighter, Andrew Packer in Twin Peaks, the evil Cochran in Halloween III, and "The Old Man" in RoboCop...in which he uttered the famous line (to Ronny Cox) "You're fired!"
"...Eight more days 'til Halloween, Silver Shamrock!"
