One of my favorites. I loved "Crossing Jordan" too. Plus all of the other great movies and TV shows he was in. I never watched NCIS-LA but saw a promo the other night and thought he looked awfully gaunt.
I remember reading about him testifying in the murder case against his cousin's boyfriend. His cousin was Dominique Dunn, the young actress who played the older sister in Poltergeist. She was murdered by her boyfriend -- allegedly (ha!). Miguel testified about their relationship. His anger really showed in the article I read in which he was quoted. I don't think I'd ever want him angry at me... that glare!
I'm surely going to miss him. Thanks, Miguel. Vaya con Dios.
