Heard also had memorable roles in 1998s Big, as Tom Hanks rival, and the movie Beaches of that same year, as Bette Midlers husband. The Washington, D.C. native also starred opposite Elijah Wood in 1992s Radio Flyer and had a recurring role on The Sopranos, as Detective Vin Makazian.

Celebrities took to social media over the weekend to remember the actor, who most recently appeared on the Fox police drama APB. (Hes also set to appear in the film Last Rampage, which is due out in September.)
