Fred Thompson and Dennis Franz in Die Hard 2.
Die Hard 2, 1990
Sample dialogue: "We've bought ourselves maybe two hours. After that, those planes low on fuel aren't gonna be circlin'. They're gonna be droppin' on the White House lawn." Thompson played a gruff Dulles Airport tower commander with a kind of pinko-sounding name. But he was true blue, baby; and had the good sense to trust tough-on-terror cop Bruce Willis, unlike stupid Dennis "It's more of a law enforcement issue" Franz.
