Dylan McDermott (1961 - )

Film Deaths

• Hardware (1990) [Moses Baxter]: Injected with cytotoxin by the robot after a fight with it, causing him to experience a series of hallucinogen visions which cause him to slice open his wrists in an attempt to remove the toxins only to die from a combination of them and blood loss.

• In the Line of Fire (1993) [Secret Service Agent Al D'Andrea]: Shot in the head (off-camera) by John Malkovich during a rooftop chase, while Clint Eastwood dangles from the ledge; his body is shown afterwards when he falls across the ledge, revealing that he's been shot.

• The Cowboy Way (1994) [John Stark]: Dragged to death behind a subway train after Woody Harrelson and Kiefer Sutherland lasso him to the train (as Dylan goes to shoot Ernie Hudson).

• Texas Rangers (2001) [Leander McNelly]: Dies of tuberculosis.

• Runaway Jury (2003) [Jacob Woods]: Shot to death (off-screen) by a gunman (a fired colleague) in his office; we only see him open his door to be confronted by said shooter, followed by gunshots over a freeze frame of Dylan's face that fades away.

• Edison Force (Edison) (2005) [Francis Lazerov]: Shot in the head by John Heard during a fight with LL Cool J (his body is later seen slumped against the wall as Cary Elwes looks on after hearing the shots).

• The Tenants (2005) [Harry Lesser]: Shot in the head by Snoop Dogg.

• Olympus Has Fallen (2013) [Dave Forbes]: Stabbed in the head or neck by Gerard Butler after he tells Rick Yune via radio that he killed Gerard, thus giving Gerard time to rescue Aaron Eckhart. (as Dylan is already dying from having been stabbing in the chest by his own knife in a fight with Gerard). We only see Gerard bring the knife down.

• Josie (2018 [Hank]: Throat slit by Sophie Turner.
