Tony Longo

Longo died in his sleep at his home in Marina del Rey, California on June 21, 2015 after a long battle with congestive heart failure and kidney issues. He had daughters Chloe Longo and Danielle Schramm, and was married to Jamie Briggs for the last 23 years of his life.

Because of his 6 ft 6 in (1.98 m), 300 lb (140 kg) frame, Longo was often chosen for roles that depict him as an imposing giant with freakish strength, and sub-standard intelligence, such as Mad Dog in the 1980s comedy/drama 1st and Ten where he was a linebacker for the fictional football team, the California Bulls. Mad Dog was paired with fellow linebacker Dr. Death, played by actor Donald Gibb who has had a career playing similar roles as Longo. He also appeared in Suburban Commando starring Hulk Hogan as a bounty hunter alongside The Undertaker.
