Actor Robert Loggia has died due to complications from Alzheimer's at his home in Los Angeles. He was 85.
With a resume that stretches back decades, Loggia's dozens of roles showed off his considerable range as an actor. He appeared in comedies (Big, a trio of Pink Panther movies) and dramas, like An Officer and a Gentleman, Lost Highway, and Jagged Edge, for which he was nominated for an Academy Award. Loggia's supporting turn in Scarface also made him a favorite for gangster roles, including a recurring character on HBO's The Sopranos and a key voiceover role in the bestselling video game Grand Theft Auto 3.
