    Brian made an exemplary impression in every movie he made no matter how big or small the part.He brought a credibility to each role he played that made you either love or hate the character & for this he will never be forgotten.R.I.P big guy.

    Rest in Peace, Brian. From First Blood to Cocoon to, for my generation, Tommy Boy, you will truly be missed.

      Oh Vin, I am so jealous. It was my dream to meet my all time favourite actor. Im Australian though, so it was a bit hard to ever met him from over here. I cried myself to sleep when I heard he died. I’m only 52 but I cried so hard I thought I was going to have a heart attack. Lucky you, I bet he was lovely.

    Some people inspire fond association the moment they appear in a scene. In his case, every scene he was even in, possibly, even playing a bad guy/sleaze. A gifted individual.

    Thx for the upload Don.
    Brian was awesome, I almost had forgot all about this man.
    Unfortunately this kind of guest shows Lettermans worse side. Dave is a very poor straight man and its a bit painful to watch. Dave wants to be the center of the laughs and the jokes. Dave is of course great at that, but when a very funny guest takes a lot of space, David cant handle it like Carson did in a masterful way.
