Richard A. Dysart Died

[Tom]

He was 86.

Dysart enjoyed one hell of a run on the TV series “L.A. Law,” but for us horror fans he will always be “Doc” Copper from John Carpenter’s The Thing. Dysart also appeared in Back to the Future Part III, The Prophecy, and lent his voice to the animated Spawn series as Cogliostro.
