Excuse me. Does anyone know if he ever married? Cheers.

Looking for Mr. Franz. NYPDBlue is still well worth watching, and I still turn to it for the best TV of its kind.

Where are you now Dennis? Formally OTJ. Miss you.

Actually, I remember Dennis Franz in his portrayal as Detective Sal Benedetto in a few episodes of HSB when he beats up Renko for giving him a parking ticket...Bobby Hill subsequently whips the crap out of Benedetto. I remember watching that and taking every swing with Michael Warren as he settled the score!

What a down to Earth bloke He seems to be. Loved Him as Toomey in 'Psycho II' - One of me all time favourite films

Andy Sipiwicz played by Dennis Franz was one of the best characters in television history. I can remember so many Tuesday nights, after the show, being overwhelmed by what I had just experienced. The death of Booby, Andy JR... his battle with the bottle. Franz took the writers work and breathed an amazing portrait into it.

Hill Street blues man,,he was a badass

[dal4018]

I remember him doing a scene with James McDaniels on NYPD Blue when both of them were at Sylvia's restaurant in Harlem and he was looking around for an avenue of escape

What was his birth name ????

[vegas2401]

Dennis Franz is my favourite actor,fantastic in Hill st, brilliant in NYPD BLUE.Thanks for this post

[tomarkenfan83]

He was in Popeye with Robin Williams... Key scene he was in was at the resteraunt and seeing Popeye and making fun of the way he talked and that Popeye's pappy was as yellow as he was, Seeing that movie now is FUNNY as Dennis is known as Andy on NYPD Blue.. Popeye is a nice change compaired to his later roles...

NYPD Blue is my FAVORITE show EVER & most likely probably ALWAYS will be but Dennis Franz aka Det. Andy Sipiwicz was the driving force to that whole show, thanks for posting this!

[squanto2]

NYPD BLUES is probably my #2 favorite show, after The Sopranos.

I too have been a huge fan of Dennis since I was young when my mother used to let me stay up and watch Hill St. Superb actor and a down to earth guy as well. Great post, thank you.

[DrHoldowicz]

Fantastic set of interviews, unrivalled for depth and detail.

I first became a fan of Dennis Franz when he played the seedy Det Norman Buntz in Hill St Blues, then noticed him in re-runs of older movies, and then of course, NYPD BLUE..

I was enthralled through every minute of these interviews.

Great work.

Thank you so much for posting this. I've a huge fan of his work since Hill Street Blues and not only is he a great actor but on top of that he seems to be a really regular decent fellow, zero ego or hollywood BS. Some people should take note, yeah I'm talking to you all on Grey's Anatomy, Lost etc...
