R.I.P he was awesome as the dad in “Edward Scissorhands” and underrated in “The Santa Clause 3”.

One of my favorites. The sound of his voice was so lovely. Played the best Dad roles ❤

He also played a detective in Gattaca. He revealed what the characters he played were thinking without saying a word. Sorrow for his loss and Condolences to his friends, fans and family.
