Ruscio, who died Nov. 12 at his Encino, Calif., home following declining health, appeared in such films as the 'Godfather, Part III' and 'Guilty By Suspicion,' and on some of the most memorable TV shows of all time, from 'Sea Hunt' to 'Seinfeld.' His stage credits include 'A Hatful of Rain' and 'A View From the Bridge.'
