Brian Dennehy talks Death and Immortality w/ Dr. Tony Bossis -- "Cocoon" and "Death of a Salesman"

Death and Immortality! Actor Brian Dennehy sits down with Dr. Tony Bossis, from NYU’s “End of Life Anxiety” study, to discuss Dennehy’s role as the immortal being Walter in Ron Howard’s “Cocoon” and Willie Loman in “Death of a Salesman.”

You were (are) a great one, Mr. Dennehy. We're gonna miss you, sir.

My Dad retired at 55 years old and has spent most of his time talking about dying and just sitting around not taking part in anything. He became unapproachable and angry to the point I no longer have any relationship with him. He is now in his mid 70s and I can only learn from this and try to live a full life. I embrace life everyday and I will continue to until my end comes but I’m not going to sit waiting for it to happen. God bless Brian Dennehy,I met him once in Cork Ireland,great man.

i love Brian Dennehy

[@maried5085]

Love Brian, great actor...

[@Spartanm333]

Odd listening to this now after Brian's death, his pragmatism and thoughts concerning his passing - he predicts a few years which upsets the interviewer - he was correct, passed April 15, 2020. RIP. Great actor and hard working family man.

[@skygazer6898]

When I watch some of Brian's old films on youtube I kind of forget that he has got older. One of my favourite actors.

[@maried5085]

Love Mr. Dennehy, such a natural actor.

[@joyfonvielle4227]

Brian I miss you already. Saw you in person on the Big Island of Hawaii. First time I saw you was on a soap opera Another World. Loved you in 10. I always loved your acting. RIP Big Man.🥰

This was the video I wanted to see, sleep well Brian, R.I.P

[@daleholmgren6078]

How many people ever get a chance to do what Dennehy did - have on tape their complete acceptance of their own imminent demise just a couple years before it happened. What a nice way to go out.

[@olftheterrible8450]

I'm a great admirer of Dennehy's talent.

[@chevyvan1989]

I will never forget how good he was in the movie "In broad Daylight" terrorising a complete town.

[@automaticreply]

[@GordonDiver]

Think Brian would be most welcome back in Stratford at the Festival :)

[@ziggy56060]

[@Sparkyrips]

So sad to hear of the passing of one of my favourite male actors. So sexy and gorgeous. RIP Brian Dennehy. I shall cherish my signed photo always. God bless, sleep well big man.

He was in so many films not always the lead role but so many such a good actor. Today we lack this kind of talent they rely on special effects, or action to carry the movie. Aging is not accidental if you want to stay healthy have to plan for it when your young and stick to a healthy lifestyle. We all know better what we should be doing what we should be eating but we push it off oh when I get older Ill quit doing that until that door closes your out of time.

[@CaseyScoffieldWOW]

I remember him from arrest and trial. He hosted the show.

[@jonathanwood8575]
