In 1985, Loggia was nominated for an Academy Award for best supporting actor for his portrayal of a crusty private detective in the thriller Jagged Edge.

During this time, a nationwide poll named him as the United States' favorite actor. Robert Loggia has often been called the ultimate character actor. Loggia, Robert Loggia, Robert Loggia, Robert
