> **[Miguel Ferrer Dies: ‘NCIS: Los Angeles’ and ‘Crossing Jordan’ Star Was 61](https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/miguel-ferrer-dies-ncis-los-211527976.html)** > > Miguel Ferrer, who had played Owen Granger on > NCIS: Los Angeles since 2012 and co-starred with Jill Hennessy on CBS’ > Crossing Jordan, died today of cancer. He was 61. Ferrer launched his career in the early 1980s with small guest shots on such... He worked steadily in TV from the 1980’s with some great characters along the way, and long runs in Crossing Jordan, NCIS: Los Angeles, and Twin Peaks. I always liked the gravitas he brought to roles, a characteristic he shared with his father. ---

He was awesome in _Twin Peaks_, but my favorite role of his was the executive in the original RoboCop. RIP. ---

Aw, hell. He was one of my favourite actors. (So was his father.) He was great in _Twin Peaks_ (‘Look, it’s trying to think!’), and as Bud Budwaller in _On The Air_. ---

That’s awful to hear–yes, 61 is too young. Wikipedia is saying ‘throat cancer.’ Horrible. He was so memorable in so many roles; condolences to his wife and children. ---

Great actor, I’ll really miss him on the screen. His character in Twin Peaks was pure gold. And it’s good to know that he will be in the revival of the show (he’d already filmed his part.) ---

Loved him in Twin Peaks. If I wasn’t a complete coward who seeks approval of others, I’d live my life like that character. 😃 “Oh yeah, well I’ve had about enough of morons and half wits, dolts, dunces, dullards and dumbbells … and you, you chowder-head yokel, you blithering hayseed — you’ve had enough of me?” ---

Oh my goodness. ☹ He did a great turn on _Will & Grace_ as an arrogant New York publicist who hired Grace to decorate his place on the condition that she get him a date with Will. But when he’s with Will, he’s always correcting him, nitpicking him, and just generally being snotty and obnoxious. But Will can’t get rid of him. Finally Will has a great idea-- he turns the tables. Will confronts the guy and says in a drippy, lovestruck voice that he can’t hide it any more. He wants them to move in together and, “I want to have cats with you.” Then Will says, “I’ve already thought of their names (something like) ‘Snugglemuffins’ and ‘Cuddleshanks.’” Needless to say, Miguel stares at Will for one nanosecond and just walks away. One of my absolute favorite episodes. Dang-- 61 is very young. ---

The first time I ever saw Miguel Ferrer was in an episode of [Magnum, P.I.](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0639677/?ref_=adv_li_tt) I was already a big fan of José Ferrer, and Miguel was playing the young José in flashback sequences. I was fascinated, and I’ve been a big fan of Miguel’s ever since. My favorite of his roles was Dr. Macy on _Crossing Jordan_. It’s very sad to see him die so young. ☹ [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/miguel-ferrer-rip/777584.md?page=2)
