Charles Cioffi(1935-2026)

Veteran actor Cioffi appeared on television and in films. He may be best-remembered as Tom Cruise's blue-collar widower father in All the Right Moves (1983) or as revenge-seeking Ernesto Toscano on the NBC soap opera Days of Our Lives (1965) or, for those whose memories go a bit further back, as the sadistic killer (mostly of prostitutes) stalking Jane Fonda for most of the thriller Klute (1971) (for which Fonda won her first Academy Award).
