I had no idea he'd led such a hard life: http://www.foxnews.com/entertainmen...-character-actors-dies-in-ny/?intcmp=features I saw him in The Gin Game in NY many years ago. Terrific, magnetic actor.
Wow, damn shame. He was great in 'O Brother Where Art Thou?'.. Matter of fact, pretty damn good in everything he was in.
Great actor and a war hero as well. RIP Mr. Durning, you will be missed, and thank you for your service.
