One of my favorite supporting actors in the business as long as I can remember has always been Dennis Farina. This dude just scares the hell out of me. No, he doesn’t LOOK all that physically intimidating… but if that man looked me in the eyes and said “I’m going to kill you kid” I would believe him without hesitation.
But even the mighty Dennis Farina has lines he shouldn’t cross. And trying to bring a loaded gun onto an airplane at LAX is probably one of those pesky little lines. The folks at Yahoo give us this:
Actor Dennis Farina was charged with a felony Sunday at Los Angeles International Airport after a loaded gun was found in his carry-on luggage. When the weapon was discovered at a security checkpoint, the 64-year-old actor said he had forgotten the .22-caliber handgun was in his luggage, police said. Farina was booked for investigation of carrying a concealed weapon, said Sgt. Dennis Beacham. Bail was set at $25,000 before police discovered the weapon was not registered. Charges were upgraded to a felony, and he is now being held in lieu of $35,000 bail.
I hope they have a couple of seasoned veterans guarding his cell… if it’s some rookie, Farina might use some of his jedi powers, wave his hand in front of the kid’s face and say “Open the door or I’ll kill you”.
