Nicholas Georgiade has died at the age of 88. He played Agent Rico Rossi on the TV show _The Untouchables_.  
His character was on the show so there would be an Italian good guy besides all those Mafiosi.

All the Untouchables actors are gone now. Yeah, Nehemiah Persoff is still around at 102. But he only had a recurring role as gangster Jake Guzik.

Rico was a long time TV crush of mine. I am sad this day.

**[VOICE OF WALTER WINCHELL]:** It’s reported that Agent Rico Rossi has moved on to the next case for Eliot Ness and the men of The Untouchables. RIP, Rico!
