RIP, Tom Noonan

Just seeing this pop up online but apparently Tom Noonan passed away last weekend. Probably best known for his role as Francis Dolarhyde (aka the "Tooth Fairy") in Manhunter. Also had a small role in Heat and was an acclaimed director.

He was great at playing creepy characters.

I remember identifying him as The Ripper in The Last Action Hero even back in college.

Fantastic character actor. RIP

Sucks. I liked his work with Charlie Kaufman in Synecdoche and Anomalisa, and he made an impact with every little role he had.

Oddly, Noonan wasn't the only creepy Hannibal Lecter universe actor in Heat. Ted Levine (Buffalo Bill) was in Heat, as well.
