Actor Jon Polito, a Coen brothers regular with roles in films including “The Big Lebowski” and “Miller’s Crossing,” has died. He was 65.
Film director John McNaughton shared the news on Friday morning on Facebook. “Very sad to learn that my dear friend and collaborator, Jon Polito has passed away,” he wrote.
“He appeared in over 100 films, countless TV episodes and on Broadway,” McNaughton added. “Jon was a born actor and will be deeply missed by his legion of friends, fans, family and of course his long time partner, Darryl Armbruster to whom I send my condolences. R.I.P. old pal.”
