"Manolo, choot that piece a chit"

RIP

A couple of months ago, I saw him in one of his earliest roles, 1957's The Garment Jungle. Good to see how long of a career he would eventually get.

I remember seeing him in a David Lynch documentary saying how BADLY he wanted the role of Frank Booth, but had to settle for Lost Highway, at least.

I bet most non-movie savvy people would recognize the face but not the name.

His character was my favorite part of Return To Me.

"He's got him in a choke hold. Holy shit!"

I don't know how he was in his personal life, but man could this guy play a giant pick. A great job with those type of characters.

"Working with David Lynch was like taking a bullet. A gun at you. 'Lost Highway' is, I think, one of the best films I've ever been in. It'll endure a long, long time."

Thanks for the memories

RIP

I'll always remember him for this scene:

He was great in Independence Day as the grouchy military commander.

Re: RIP Robert Loggia

Just saw on my FB crawl someone I follow said RIP and this make-up artist gal responded with "the old man perv who asked me to put my had down his pants - sorry, but I'll pass."


I guess Loggia liked making passes at the female crew - in a crass manner.
