Biografie:
Indragitul actor Dennis Farina era deja bine pozitionat la prima sa slujba, de politist in Chicago, inainte de a deveni actor. Este fiul unor imigranti italieni si a crescut la Chicago. Farina s-a alaturat politiei din orasul sau natal la mijlocul anilor '60, stabilindu-se in slujba legii. Cand a fost angajat pentru a fi consultant local la filmul lui Michael Mann, Thief (1981), Farina sfarseste cu un rol in film. Continua sa apara ca si actor in Final Jeopardy (1985) si alaturi de Chuck Norris in Code of Silence (1985).
Desi nu a luat cu adevarat lecti de actorie, Farina era foarte natural; dupa ce Michael Mann i-a oferit un rol in serialul Crime Story in 1986, Farina pleaca din politie pentru a juca rolul unui politist. Din 1986 pana in 1988 a ramas in televiziune, avand si cateva aparitii in rolul agentului FBI Jack Crawford (rolul lui Scott Glen din Silence of the Lambs - Tăcerea mieilor [1991]) in filmul lui Mann, thriller-ul Manhunter (1986), a fost Birdman of Alcatraz in filmul pentru televiziune Six Against the Rock (1987) si politist in Through Naked Eyes (1987).
Farina se intoarce in televiziune in toamna anului 2002 cu un rol in Meet the Parents si in serialul The In-Laws (2002).
