The New York Post reports that veteran actor Ben Gazzara has died. He was 81.

You can read his obituary via the below link:

The piece covers Ben Gazzara's career well enough, but the piece neglects to mention my favorite Ben Gazzara film, Saint Jack.

The 1979 film, based on Paul Theroux's novel, has Gazzara portraying Jack Flowers, an American pimp in Southeast Asia.

Below is a trailer that features the late Ben Gazzara:
