You'll remember him from several film roles, a well suited character actor --

The Prestige, The Spanish Prisoner, Mystery Men, Heist, Boogie Nights, Tomorrow Never Dies, House of Games, and Magnolia ...

He was also in Deadwood as the crooked craps boss Eddie Sawyer in the Bella Union.

Sad news.

He was the CIA guy who was trying to turn Cool Breeze in the Unit.

Read the long New Yorker article listed above, he was a fascinating man.
