Like magic--poof!--he disappeared.
I'm now learning the full extent of his career, but I knew Jay only as an actor from David Mamet films I'd always hope to see again on the big screen. From personal recollection, one of my favorite lines I heard him utter comes from Heist. In an early scene, he is due to drive a getaway car and says to an accomplice in the backseat, "My motherfucker's real cool," in reference to the leader of the gang.
Rest in peace, Ricky Jay.
