Veteran actor Geno Silva, best known for his role in Scarface, has died at the age of 72, following a battle with dementia.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, he died at home following complications from frontotemporal degeneration, a form of dementia.

The guys who made Breaking Bad brought in a few actors from the 1983 Scarface.  I wonder if he was in better shape they would have hired him too.

It's also worth checking the original version with Paul Muni from the 1930s.
