Oscar-nominated actor Robert Loggia, who was known for gravelly voiced gangsters from "Scarface" to "The Sopranos" but who was most endearing as Tom Hanks' kid-at-heart toy-company boss in "Big," has died. He was 85… link |

Remember him from Disney's Elfago Bacca, and T. H. E. Cat (Thomas Hewette Edward). |

One of his earliest movie appearances was in a Cold War-era flick entitled 'The Lost Missile', which can be seen at the link below: YouTube link I really like and still remember this cool little commercial from 1998 that featured Mr. Loggia: YouTube link His last film credit is listed as ''Sicilian Vampire', which was released about a month ago. He was greatness. Godspeed, Mr. Loggia, and thank you very much. |

One of those great character actors. Immediately recognizable on sight but often with the name unknown for many. Rest in peace sir. Thanks for the entertainment. |

Rest in peace, Sir. Terrement, we share the same memories. Every time I saw him afterward..I always mentioned or said..there's El Fuego Bacca or T.H.E. Cat! Some great shows and a great actor. |

I remember him from El Fuego Baca and thoroughly enjoyed his many "bad guys." My favorite one was as the Mafioso turned vampire when a French vamp who only drained criminals was interrupted at her feast. A different turn was as the dancing toy magnate in "Big." Thanks for the good work Mr. Loggia and RIP. |

His portrayal of Mr Eddy in "Lost Highway" was frightening |
