RIP Miguel Ferrer

“NCIS: Los Angeles” actor Miguel Ferrer died Thursday after a battle with cancer.

He was 61.

Ferrer was best known for his role as Owen Granger for seven seasons on the long-running cop show.

“Today, 'NCIS: Los Angeles' lost a beloved family member,” showrunner R. Scott Gemmill said in a statement.
Of course, we may know him as...

The First Officer of the USS Excelsior under Captain "Smug Git" Styles.

I always remember him for this scene, which cracks me up every time :

Give a man a fire, and you keep him warm for a day. SET a man on fire, and you will keep him warm for the rest of his life...

I remember him most for being Bob Morton from RoboCop.

Amazingly enough, that right there is the very first time I realised that he was the guy in Robocop. I must have seen that movie ten times, never once recognised him. Weird.

You were probably more awed by Clarence Boddiicker, played by another Star Trek alum, Kurtwood Smith, who killed Bob Morton and uttered the immortal bad guy line, "Bitches leave."

Personally, I will always remember him as Albert Rosenfield.

Whatever role he was in, he did a damned good job in it. RIP.

Robocop is such an awesome movie.
