Damn, what a great voice he had! RIP

 

[Breads]

Damn. That guy was in like... 15% of the things I've ever watched.

 

[Lego Boss]

Bitches, grieve.

This post needs more love.

 

[Dizzy-4U]

Nooo! I enjoyed his performances a lot

Rest in peace.

 

[Ragelink26]

I always really liked seeing him on screen. The first thing I saw him in was Project Alf, where he was the villain.

 

[DarkArterialGore]

Bitches, grieve.

 

[darkwing-buck]

Fuuuuuuuck RIP

Dude's been great in everything I've seen with him.

I'll never forget the first time seeing robocop as a kid and his character snorting cocaine on those two women.

 

[mreddie]

He was THAT GUY to me and then looked him up, I have seen 75% of his resume and it's insane.

Even the JLA CBS movie.

Godspeed Miguel.

 

[Obscura]

RIP

He is terrific in Twin Peaks. Really happy to know he reprised that role before this happened.

 

[eso76]

Never knew what his name was, but he was, like in every movie / TV show I'd see in the eighties and nineties

 

[Alex Anderson]

That's way too damn young, man. RIP.

Loooove me some RoboCop so anyone in that is a legend in my mind.

 

[Fancyarcher]

RIP! Great actor. He did a lot of good voice work in animated shows, in addition to his live-action roles.

 

[Blastoise]

Knew the face, not the name.

RIP.

 

[wanderingprostheyltite]

Great character actor. RIP

His character in Traffic (and ofc Albert) was great.

 

[NealMcCauley]

Shot, always loved the guy. My sister watched Robocop for the first time over the holidays and she texted me asking if that was the same "War. It's FANtastic!" actor. He will be missed by many.

 

[botty]

ugh.... was hoping he would return for Twin Peaks

 

[sinkfla87]

I liked this guy, this fucking sucks. You can tell you're getting older when you start seeing all kinds of people you recognize watching or listening to as a kid start passing away . Yes, I watched RoboCop as a kid lol. He was wonderful in twin peaks too and I was looking forward to seeing his return .

 

[Doc Holliday]

Nooo! I enjoyed his performances a lot

Rest in peace.

Just saw the GUY walking down the street in La a few months ago :/

God speed dude...

 

[wanderingprostheyltite]

ugh.... was hoping he would return for Twin Peaks

He does and was scheduled to appear at the Twin Peaks panel that was last week but canceled last second. Now we know why

 

[Eaten By A Grue]

One of the best scenes in Twin Peaks.

So awesome, *cries*.

 

[LProtag]

I loved him as Albert in Twin Peaks. I'm glad that they're done filming and we'll get to see him in it.

 

[hugocésar]

Rewatched Twin Peaks last month. What an incredible talent. Immediately drew attention to the screen.

 

[eliza0224]

Didn't know his name, but I really enjoyed his work. RIP

 

[manzoman96]

Poor guy. RIP.

 

[jetjevons]

I even liked The Night Flyer because of him.

 

[OdysseusVA]

You could see his health deteriorate on NCIS: LA. His speech especially had gotten worse in the last season or so.

RIP

 

[TheGameshark]

RIP, such a shame. He was such a distinctive actor.

 

[mortal]

Damn. Have a good sleep.

 

[Sseklebeast]

This upsets me deeply. Rest in Peace.

Fuck cancer.

FUCK

 

[Salarians]

 

[karasu]

Damn. RIP. This was the first guy who ever taught me to associate success with sniffing cocaine off of hookers.

[Omadahl]

This is a bummer. Albert is one of my favorite characters from Twin Peaks and Miguel nailed it.

 

[Digital-Hero]

RIP Miguel Ferrer! Loved Albert on Twin Peaks.

EDIT:
Also, let's not forget smug Excelsior navigator in Star Trek III.

 

[CrunchyB]

Aww, shit. He was awesome in Robocop, Twin Peaks and in many other memorable roles.

Come to think of it, I don't think I ever saw him giving a subpar performance. RIP, you seemed like a cool dude.

 

[Helmholtz]

Loved him in Twin Peaks. Looks like he'll still be in the new season. RIP

 

[Fitts]

Damn... RIP.

One of the best scenes in Twin Peaks.

This is what I was going to link. The best minute of television ever. I was so hype watching that scene for the first time... my girl laughed her ass off at my reaction.

 

[ZombieSupaStar]

Aww man.

He was my all time favorite "Hey it's that guy!" Actor

He's was also in the stand. Which is a guilty please of mine

Rip good sir

I always felt bad for his character in that, like he wasn't really bad, he just went with the wrong crowd.


RIP

 

[Arozay]

Fuck 2016

 

[OG Shaka Zulu]

RIP, liked his work.

 

[Auto-Reply]

Never knew his name but when he showed up in a movie I always thought he did a great job and had a distinctive face.

Robocop already mentioned, I also really liked him in the movie "The Night Flier", he's not really sympathetic in the movie but I like the way he's playing the role of the asshole journalist/scummy photgrapher.

 

[Gaius Cassius]

Damn, I guess the ill health rumors a while back were true. (Rumor was he had had a stroke I believe?) He was a fantastic actor. Ill always remember him as Bob Morton, as it was such a great role. The character was a sleazeball, but you couldnt help but love him. Come to think of it, most of his characters were sorta like that, tough mean guys, that in the long run were quite likable. As a hispanic man myself, I always looked up to him, not just for the fact that he was a great hispanic actor, but the style of such characters he played. The complex a-hole types. Always been my favorite, maybe because I always wanted to be a little bit like that. I grew up watching his roles, and he was one of the awesome hispanic actors I saw on tv and movies again and again that left a mark, and made you genuinely curious about them, him and Ricardo Montalban personally. Not many left now.

Its gonna be strange but good seeing him again as Albert for one last time in the new season of Twin Peaks I suppose.

 

[DieH@rd]

RIP Dick Jones

ugh.... was hoping he would return for Twin Peaks

He already filmed it.

 

[Mindwipe]

That's really sad. He had a great body of work.

 

[Acquiescence]

Oh man, I loved this dude. Robocop, Twin Peaks, Hot Shots Part Deux. He was consistently great.

RIP.

 

[LaNaranja]

RIP :'(

That Twin Peaks scene everyone is linking to completely caught me off guard and made me immediately fall in love with his character the first time I saw it.

 

[Caboose]

Aww man RIP

Always enjoyed his performances.

 

[PHOENIXZERO]

RIP.


And fuck cancer.

 

[Plesiades]

Such a great actor. He will be missed.

 

[ElFly]

Jesus

will miss this guy

 

[Pandy]

Damn!
