Hollywood is in mourning following the death of Floyd Levine, the veteran actor who appeared in The Hangover. He passed away at the age of 93, leaving behind a remarkable legacy on both the big and small screen.
The heartbreaking news was confirmed on August 27 through an emotional Instagram post by his daughter-in-law, Tracy Robbins. Alongside a series of cherished family photos, she remembered Levine with touching words that highlighted both his career and his role within the family.
Tributes began pouring in almost immediately from celebrities, friends, and fans who admired the actor’s work and his infectious spirit. Reality star Kris Jenner expressed her condolences, writing:
“So sorry for your loss, Tracy and Brian… We are sending prayers for the family and lots of love.”
Fans also filled the comments with love and support. One follower wrote:
“Love these photos, they capture his life so well.”
Another added:
“My deepest condolences to the family! Sending the tightest hugs and lots of love.”
Levine’s journey to stardom began in New York City, where he worked as a taxi driver before deciding to chase his Hollywood dream in California. Over the years, he built an impressive résumé with roles in films such as Bloodbrothers (1978), Night Shift (1982), The Border (1982), Airplane II: The Sequel (1982), Braddock: Missing in Action III (1988), and The Hangover (2009), where he played a tailor.
Away from the spotlight, he was the father of producer Brian Robbins, known for major projects including A Quiet Place and Mission: Impossible.
In her emotional tribute, Tracy Robbins described Levine as a beloved family man, writing:
“My beloved father-in-law, Floyd Levine, passed away peacefully yesterday on August 24, surrounded by his beautiful family (and probably wishing someone would bring him a martini).”
She went on to remember his humor and his passion for life, saying:
“The best father-in-law, grandpa, and all-around jokester. Floyd loved Frank Sinatra, classic films, and making everyone laugh. He started out as a cab driver in New York City before chasing Hollywood dreams in California, building an amazing acting career along the way. Brian (her son) is basically his twin, and we will see Floyd’s grin every time we look at him.”
In another part of the post, she highlighted his vibrant personality and unique sense of humor:
“I will miss his humor, his stories, and his F bombs that Stella made a lot of money off of! Here’s to my forever Brooklyn boy, Floyd, may the martinis be cold and the Sinatra songs never end! I would like to think there’s a casting call in heaven, and you showed up early, script in hand.”
Robbins concluded her tribute with heartfelt words that touched everyone who read them:
“I will miss him dearly, but I know he’s making the angels laugh already and back together with his beautiful wife Rochelle (give her the biggest squeeze from us). Don’t worry, I will take care of your baby boy always and forever. Love you grandpa. And yes….you always did it your way to the very end.”
Floyd Levine leaves behind a legacy of memorable film performances, a family who adored him, and countless fans who will continue to celebrate his life and career.
