Biography from Leonard Maltin's Movie Encyclopedia:
As an occasional leading man in the 1950s and 1960s, this tough, leathery actor often seemed wooden and unconvincing. As a gruff but lovable supporting player in the 1980s and 1990s, he's come into his own. An alumnus of the prestigious Actors' Studio, Loggia made his screen debut in Somebody Up There Likes Me (1956), and won a starring role in the bleak sci-fi saga The Lost Missile (1958). He achieved greater success on TV, first in 1959 as the "unkillable" lawman Elfego Baca on "Walt Disney Presents," then in 1965 as a supercool cat burglar turned crime-fighter on "T.H.E. Cat." Loggia's better feature roles include Che (1969), The Ninth Configuration (1980), S.O.B (1981), An Officer and a Gentleman (1982), Psycho II (1983), as well as three Pink Panther movies, and he was memorably nasty in Scarface (1983) and Prizzi's Honor (1985). His Oscar-nominated role as the foul-mouthed investigator in Jagged Edge (1985) finally boosted him to the top rank of character actors, and he even nabbed such comedy roles as the boozy priest in That's Life! (1986) and the kindly toy magnate in Big (1988). His performance in the miniseries "Favorite Son" led to a spinoff series, "Mancuso, FBI" (1989-90). He later starred in the Norman Lear sitcom "Sunday Dinner," and continued his comic ways in such features as Opportunity Knocks (1990), The Marrying Man and Necessary Roughness (both 1991). Loggia played a mobster turned vampire in the black comedy Innocent Blood (1992). In 1994 he appeared in I Love Trouble |  |
