RIP Robert Z’Dar

Robert Z’Dar, the guy better known as the man with the gigantic chin best known for the cult film series Maniac Cop, died Monday night in Pensacola after being hospitalized when he came to town to appear at Pensacon, according to his long-time manager and friend Jim Decker. He was 64.

D’Zar made his first real prominent appearance in Tango & Cash (you punched that jaw?!) but the actor was featured in more than 121 films, including cult classics like the first three Maniac Cop films, Soultaker, The Final Sanction and Samurai Cop (the sequel to which Z’Dar had been set to join immediately after Pensacon).

Decker said that Z’Dar is survived by a brother, Billy Zdarsky, and a nephew, Matthew. He said those who would like to send condolences could do so through his email, [email protected].

RIP Robert.
