Tom Hanks: Actor pays touching tribute to late ‘Big co-star’ Robert Loggia

Tom Hanks has paid tribute to his Big co-star Robert Loggia, who died Friday at the age of 85.

Tom Hanks tweeted: “Farewell, Robert Loggia. A great actor in heart and soul … A sad day. Hanx​”.

The actors both took part in Big’s iconic piano scene, where Hanks’ Josh and Loggia’s toy company owner Mr MacMillan play a giant keyboard with their feet.

Loggia was a well-known character actor, with early roles in films such The Greatest Story Ever Told, Revenge of the Pink Panther and Somebody Up There Likes Me​. He made his name as drug kingpin Frank Lopez in Scarface.

He later achieved an Academy Award nomination as private detective Sam Ransom in 1985’s Jagged Edge.

Loggia also played Feech La Manna​ in The Sopranos, and had a guest role in Malcolm in the Middle.
