'CARLITO'S WAY' ACTOR PASSED AWAY FRIDAY FROM MELANOMA
James Rebhorn, who so memorably played DA Norwalk in Brian De Palma's Carlito's Way, passed away peacefully Friday afternoon from Melanoma. Rebhorn was a well-loved character actor who appeared in many many films and TV shows, and appeared with Al Pacino in Martin Brest's Scent Of A Woman, a year before the two worked together again on Carlito's Way. His agent, Dianne Busch, tells Deadline, "He was a wonderful, wonderful man. I represented him since 1990, and I represented him for my entire career. He was an absolute joy to work with. He was very funny and was warm. He was drawn to projects with a social conscience. One of his favorite movies that he did was Lorenzo’s Oil because it made a difference. He had a very strong faith and loved his family. His family was extremely important to him and I saw him make career sacrifices for them."
