Alex Rocco passed away yesterday at the age of 79 according to his daughter Jennifer, who wrote a beautiful poem in his honor. Rocco started working in the mid-60’s and he never stopped. The actor was known for his gravely voice that made him sound tough, but he still came off as loveable. He is best known for playing Moe Green in The Godfather. Others of us know him for playing Jo’s dad on The Facts of Life and Matt LeBlanc’s father in Episodes. These are just a few of the many many many roles he played his long career that included drama, comedies and everything else in between.
So today pick a movie or television show or both to rewatch his brilliant work and keep that bigger than life spirit alive.
