I really liked him in Galaxy Quest. Played the straight man very well. "By Grapthar's hammer!!!!" RIP

I can't leave Galaxy Quest and Sense and Sensibility off that list; the disgust of the crew in the first half of GQ simply doesn't work without him, and IMO he was probably the most credible Brandon ever (if you believe Brandon was simply reserved and honourable and not just a nebbish).

I didn't realize Die Hard was his first film. He was great in that.

Neither did I.

This from the Trivia section of his IMDB bio...

For the shot where Hans Gruber falls from the top of the building in Die Hard (1988), was actually dropped by a stuntman from a 20-foot high model onto an air bag. To get a genuine surprised look, the stuntman dropped him on the count of two instead of three.
