John Capodice - actor best known for Ace Ventura and General Hospital roles - passes away at 83


The acting world is in mourning once again, with beloved character actor John Capodice passing away just before the new year.

He started his acting career in 1978 with his first film role in Rush It alongside Tom Berenger, Jill Eikenberry and John Heard. He played a befuddled pizzeria employee who was asked by some kids to make a pizza with extra cheese but no sauce or crust... a'cheese with nuttin' as his character described. Not only did he play Aguado on Ace Ventura in 1994, but he was seen as bus driver Bob in Speed, Caruso in The Scout and a mob boss in A Low Down Dirty Shame that year.
