Chicago police officer-turned-actor Dennis Farina died this morning in an Arizona hospital due to a blood clot in his lung. He was 69.
Farina, most recently seen on HBO's Luck and as Nick's scheming father on FOX's New Girl, started off his career as a Michael Mann player - appearing in the Mann film Thief and Mann-produced shows Crime Story and Miami Vice.
