Sucks, he was kinda local to me. Sometimes you'd see him buying coke up in Harlem or on the lower east side late 90s, early 2000s. Sort of a legitimate tough guy, had no problem squaring up to people that pressed him, but he wasn't an asshole about it.
While not for everyone, he played a good schizophrenic in an indie called "Clean, Shaven". It's sort of a mystery film, memorable for the hallucinations of transmitters, etc.... -
