My Take

Mitchell Ryan had one of those faces and voices that instantly commanded a scene, the kind of seasoned actor you recognize long before you can place the name. He menaced Mel Gibson and Danny Glover as the villain in Lethal Weapon, brought gravity to Dark Shadows, and then revealed a warmer, comic side as the gruff father on Dharma & Greg. That range, from stage to soap to blockbuster to sitcom, marks a true working actor who never stopped honing his craft. He passed away in 2022, but his decades of steady, dignified performances left a deep mark on American screens that I will always appreciate.
