Frank Pesce, who acted in the Beverly Hills Cop franchise and made appearances in Top Gun, Midnight Run, and television shows Who’s the Boss, Miami Vice, and Karen Cisco, has passed away at the age of 75. Pesce’s autobiographical film, 29th Street, featured Anthony Paglia playing Pesce as a young man and the late Danny Aiello as his father.
Pesce’s film career spanned nearly five decades. He was born on December 8, 1946, and made his first on-screen appearance in NBC’s Police Story in 1976. He worked steadily until his last film appearance as a doorman in 2015’s Creed. According to the Hollywood Reporter, Pesce had been suffering from dementia towards the end of his life. His girlfriend Tammy Scher noted that his death, on February 6 at Providence Saint Joseph Medical Center in Burbank, resulted from complications of the disease.
