Although he was nominated for a Best Supporting Actor Oscar for his role as a private investigator in 1985's "Jagged Edge," he was best known as the company boss who danced on a giant floor piano with Tom Hanks in the 1988 blockbuster, "Big."
And when news of his passing spread Friday, Hanks took to Twitter to remember his co-star.
Farewell, Robert Loggia. A great actor in heart and soul ... A sad day. Hanx
