After getting a big break from Lucille Ball, he portrayed Rico Rossi on the ultra-violent ABC series for four seasons.
Nicholas Georgiade, who played the brawny Eliot Ness ally Enrico “Rico” Rossi on the hard-hitting ABC crime drama The Untouchables, has died. He was 88.
Georgiade died Sunday in Las Vegas, his nephew and namesake Nick Georgiade announced.
On Facebook, his daughter, Stazi, wrote: “He lived 88 long years and had a beautiful life. He was also a wonderful father to me. I had the blessing to have him pass away in my arms tonight. Thank you in advance to all your kind words and prayers.”
