BRIAN DENNEHY won the 1999 Tony Award for best actor in a play for the 50th anniversary production of Arthur Miller's Death of a Salesman. Mr. Dennehy also received a Golden Globe Award, a Screen Actors Guild Award and an Emmy nomination as best actor for Showtime's television adaptation of that production. He earned a second Tony Award in 2003 for his performance in Robert Falls' production of Long Day's Journey Into Night. He also starred on Broadway in Brian Friel's Translations. At Chicago's Goodman Theatre he appeared in the leading roles in Long Day's Journey Into Night (2002), Death of a Salesman (1998), A Touch of the Poet (1996), The Iceman Cometh (1992) and Galileo (1986). He and Falls collaborated again in 1992 for a remounting of The Iceman Cometh at the Abbey Theatre in Dublin. Additional theatre credits include Peter Brook's 1988 production of The Cherry Orchard at the Brooklyn Academy of Music's Majestic Theater; Wisdom Bridge Theatre's production of Rat in the Skull; and Says I, Says He at the Mark Taper Forum and the Phoenix Theatre in New York. Mr. Dennehy has also starred in numerous television movies and miniseries and was nominated for an Emmy on four other occasions - for his work in Burden of Proof, To Catch a Killer (The John Wayne Gacy Story), Murder in the Heartland and A Killing in a Small Town. However, Mr. Dennehy is perhaps best known for his work in feature films, some of which include Semi-Tough, 10, Rambo: First Blood, Gorky Park, Never Cry Wolf, Twice in a Lifetime, Cocoon, Silverado, F/X, Legal Eagles, Best Seller, Presumed Innocent, Tommy Boy, Baz Luhrmann's Romeo + Juliet and Peter Greenaway's The Belly of an Architect, for which he received the Chicago Film Festival Award as best actor.
