Actor Robert Loggia, whose versatile career took him from playing drug lords and mobsters in movies like "Scarface" and TV shows like "The Sopranos" to the kind-hearted company boss of Tom Hanks in "Big," died on Friday at his Los Angeles residence. He was 85.
Loggia was diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease five years ago. "His poor body gave up," his wife off 33 years, Aubrey Loggia, told Fox News. "He loved being an actor and he loved his life."
Loggia's rugged looks and rough voice bagged him tough-guy roles in gangster flicks, the most popular being his character in the Al Pacino-starrer, "Scarface," in which he played Miami drug lord, Frank Lopez. He also played a Sicilian ganster in "Prizzi's Honor," starring Jack Nicholson and Kathleen Turner in 1985.
