Tony Lo Bianco, best known for his role in the Academy Award-winning film 'The French Connection,' has died. He was 87. Lo Bianco died Tuesday night at his horse farm in Maryland after a battle with prostate cancer, representatives for the actor confirmed to Fox News Digital. 'His beloved wife, Alyse, was by his side,' the representative said in an email. Lo Bianco was born in Brooklyn, New York, in 1936.
His support of U.S. veterans led him to produce and narrate a tribute video called 'Just a Common Soldier.' The video has received over 22 million views and received two Emmys, according to Lo Bianco's website.
