James Woods, who worked with Dennehy in Split Image and Best Seller, wrote on Twitter: "I'm just devastated to hear we lost my beloved friend and colleague, Brian Dennehy.
"We were partners on two of my favorite films, Split Image, and Best Seller. I've never laughed so hard as we did every day on the set or off. For a big 'tough guy,' he was a sweetheart. RIP Brian"
