Dennis Farina Wallpapers

Donaldo Guglielmo "Dennis" Farina (born February 29, 1944) is an American film and television actor. He is a character actor, often typecast as a mobster or police officer�the latter an appropriate choice, as Farina was an officer of the Chicago Police Department serving from 1967 to 1985. When Farina quit the force, he was a detective.

Farina was born in Chicago, Illinois to a large Italian-American family and had two brothers and three sisters. He is father of three sons: Dennis, Joseph and Michael, from his first marriage.

Farina began his work in show business working for director Michael Mann as a police consultant on Mann's early works. This led to an interest in acting when Mann cast him in a small role. Farina proceeded to moonlight as an actor in the Chicago theater scene before Mann chose him for his Crime Story series.

Other movies in Farina's filmography include Manhunter, Midnight Run, Striking Distance, Get Shorty, Out of Sight, Saving Private Ryan, Big Trouble, Snatch, The Mod Squad and Stealing Harvard. He has also acted opposite Bette Midler in the romantic comedy That Old Feeling. In early 2005 Farina provided the voice of aging boxer-turned-superhero Wildcat on Justice League Unlimited.

Farina starred as Detective Joe Fontana on NBC's long-running television series Law & Order from 2004 to 2006. In May 2006, it was announced that Farina was leaving Law & Order to pursue other projects.
