He apparently beat up a lot of ladies. Great character actor but the dude sounds supremely toxic. 

yeah.. he was over the edge booze and cocaine type of guy who went through all that and i think spent some time in rehab getting clean and getting his shit together. but yeah.. problematic for sure. i remember he was in "hollywood madame" heidi fleiss' little black book. apparently on every page by the sound of it.

Yeah, whoa. I mean... I know death comes when it comes, but this seemed ultra unexpected (like, dude was only 60, seemed like he was in great shape, etc.). Was just reading an interview w/ him re: John Wick 4, wtf. 

[ignatius]
