What a charisma. He was brilliant in Roadhouse, which is the greatest movie ever made.

Man Ben was a class act, such a cool and insightful guy with a great voice. Such an underrated presence

I wish I could have met Ben Gazzara. He was scrumptious!

Ben was a great actor and I really enjoyed him in Cassavetes movies (Husbands, Opening Night, Killing of Chinese Bookie). He was an amazing talent filled with life. He will be greatly missed,

So many amazing actors and writers of this generation. The John Cassavetes, the Peter Falks, the Seymour Cassels and the talented Ben Gazzaras of the 1960s, 1970s, 1980s and beyond. So much talent and creativity. Why we don't have talented people like this right now, in current generation?

i miss this guy he was simply great.

Wish it was 1989 again.

It really confirms that these guys were superb actors and totally opposite to their characters in real life. Both Ben and Marshall Teague were some of the greatest villains, yet in real life they are humble, sweet and incredibly nice guys. RIP Ben.

A wonderful voice for sure owned by a very good actor & director👍🏻 RIP

I worked with Ben in Roadhouse and every single morning, he had his face in the newspaper. I always said "good morning" with a smile but he never even looked up. 🙁

Excellent Actor...cool...class act

"Wesleyyyyyy!!"

I love his voice. So articulate. A special kind of actor and man. This interview must have been very shortly after Cassavete's death.

Brad Wesley was one of the few bad guys I actually liked. Ben was a terrific actor.

Italian class ❤

Roadhouse hes a very charming bad guy.

He was great as Brad Wesley

I saw tonight the movie

Well Dorothy did a great impression of him while holding the baby.

Ben def pulled off the role well...great bad guy

Interesante plano-contraplano. Primero todo el plano. Luego todo el contraplano.

My sister is married to his cousin here in San Diego

Hungría

He's so stubborn in roadhouse.As if Dalton's the problem and not him.Great performance.

what was the TV movie where he played an evil domineering dad who besides being a crook tongue kissed his kids?

Ben could certainly act sinister.
