Zoack Norman, a beloved actor who was in movies like Romancing the Stone, has died.
The famous person who had roles in movies like “The Nanny,” “The A-Team,” and “Baywatch” was 83 years old.
His family said that he died of natural causes at Providence Saint Joseph Medical Center in Burbank, California.
His mark on Hollywood will never be erased because he was in so many classic TV shows, movies, and plays.
The stand-up comedian, actor, and producer may be best known for his role as a crocodile-loving antiquities smuggler in Romancing the Stone.
In Robert Zemeckis’ 1984 action movie with Michael Douglas and Kathleen Turner, he played Danny DeVito’s cousin who was a smuggler.
“Those snappers are so cool,” Zack’s character would say in awe whenever he saw a croc.
From what The Hollywood Reporter knows, he is survived by his wife Nancy, his sister Jane, and their children Lori, Tracy, Stephen, and Michael.
Besides that, he was the grandfather of fifteen children.
Fans wrote touching tributes to the dead star all over social media.
One fan wrote on X, “Ah man, 83 is a good run.” So many people love “Romancing the Stone.” “Rest in peace Zack.”
No more Zack Norman. He was on the Carson show in 1969, produced and financed movies, was in a number of Henry Jaglom movies, and liked crocodiles as Danny DeVito’s partner in crime in Romancing the Stone, according to someone else.
Someone else just wrote “Rest in peace.”
