A shitty way to start my morning. Everyone from my generation knew him from Home Alone, but his work in the criminally-underseen Cutter's Way is one of the most powerful, ruthless performances of the '80s (and actually the movie that sold Chris Columbus on wanting to work with him!).

He was also wonderful as a deadbeat private-eye in the first season of The Sopranos. Heard's AV Club "Random Roles" had a great story about how Paul Schrader got pissed at him for being sent to a fat-farm by the studio for Cat People, bitching that he could have hired William Hurt in same the timeframe Heard spent getting in shape. Hurt turned it down, and Schrader was stuck with him, LOL.

R.I.P.
