Dennis Farina (born February 29, 1944 in Chicago, Illinois) is a film and television actor, starring since 2004 as Detective Joe Fontana NBC's Law & Order. He is a character actor, often typecast as a mobster or police officer—the latter an appropriate choice, as Farina was an officer of the Chicago Police Department.
Farina starred in the Michael Mann TV series Crime Story and has appeared in the movies Manhunter, Midnight Run, Get Shorty, Out of Sight, Saving Private Ryan, and Snatch.
