Frank Pesce Dies: Actor In ‘Beverly Hills Cop’, ‘Top Gun’, ‘Midnight Run’ & Dozens More Was 75
16.02.2022 - 23:51 / deadline.com
Frank Pesce, a colorful character actor whose dozens of credits range from Beverly Hills Cop, Top Gun and Midnight Run to Miami Vice, Matlock and Kojak, has died. He was 75.
His girlfriend Tammy Scher told Deadline that Pesce died February 6 in Burbank of dementia complications.
Born on December 8, 1946, in New York City, Pesce put the “character” in character actor. A longtime close friend of Sylvester Stallone, Tony Danza, the late Robert Forster and many other industry players, he was known for his big smile, big stories and bigger personality.
“They make movies about guys like me,” he always said. That quote — more about it below — will be written on his epitaph, Scher said.
Pesce began his screen career in the mid-1970s, guesting on such series as Police Story and Kojak and playing bit roles in the early Stallone films Rocky and Paradise Alley. He went on to work in film and TV steadily into the 2010s, with guest shots on hit shows including Cagney & Lacey, Knight Rider, The Greatest American Hero, Matlock, Who’s the Boss? and Miami Vice.
He’d already appeared in such films as American Gigolo, Young Doctors in Love and Vigilante before playing a bar regular in the Don Simpson-Jerry Bruckheimer smash Flashdance. That led to likely his small but scene-making and most recognizable roles in the first two Simpson and Bruckheimer’s Beverly Hills Cop films — as a cigarette buyer in the wild opening scene of the first and as a hood Eddie Murphy’s Axel Foley accuses of being a cop in the sequel.
Pesce went on to appear as a bartender in the Simpson-Bruckheimer juggernaut Top Gun and later as a bail jumper in the George Gallo-penned Robert De Niro-Charles Grodin action-comedy classic Midnight Run.
