Actor Floyd Levine, who people know from movies such as “Norbit,” “Good Burger,” and “Death Wish,” sadly passed away on August 24. Not only was he a well-known actor, but Levine is also the father of Brian Robbins, the celebrated producer and director. He was 93 years old. Now, fans of the beloved movie and television star are paying tribute to his legacy.
Levine’s daughter-in-law, Tracy Robbins, announced his passing on her Instagram account. The now edited post begins, “My beloved father-in-law, Floyd Levine, passed away peacefully yesterday on August 24, surrounded by his beautiful family (and probably wishing someone would bring him a martini).”
She continued, “The best father-in-law, grandpa, and all-around jokester, Floyd loved Frank Sinatra, classic films, and making everyone laugh. He started out as a cab driver in New York City before chasing Hollywood dreams in California, building an amazing acting career along the way. Brian is basically his twin, and we will see Floyd’s grin every time we look at him.”
The post then said, “I will miss him dearly, but I know he’s making the angels laugh already and back together with his beautiful wife Rochelle( give her the biggest squeeze from us). Don’t worry, I will take care of your baby boy always and forever. Love you, Grandpa. And yes….you always did it your way to the very end.”
