‘Baywatch’ Star Passes Away At 93

A memorable star from the hit beach TV series “Baywatch” died at 93 this week, stunning fans still keeping tabs on the whereabouts of its alums.

Floyd Levine, who also starred in the popular “Dukes of Hazzard,” died “peacefully” and “surrounded by his family,” according to a statement by his daughter-in-law, Tracy Robbins.

She wrote Levin died last Friday, Aug. 24, and joked that he spent his final moments “probably wishing someone would bring him a martini.”

“The best father-in-law, grandpa, and all around jokester, Floyd loved Frank Sinatra, classic films, and making everyone laugh,” she recalled in an Instagram post on Monday.

Levine is survived by his only son, Brian Robbins, who served as chairman and CEO of Paramount Pictures before departing earlier this year amid the company’s merger with Skydance.

“Brian is basically his twin, and we will see Floyd’s grin every time we look at him,” Levine’s daughter-in-law wrote. “I will miss his humor, his stories, and his F bombs that Stella made a lot of money off of!”

“I would like to think there’s a casting call in heaven, and you showed up early, script in hand,” she added.

Born Feb. 23, 1932, Levine got his start in acting in 1960, guest-starring in numerous TV shows over the years. He is credited with appearances on “Quincy,” “M.E.,” “Hill Street Blues,” “Hart to Hart,” “Charlie’s Angels,” “The Love Boat,” “Police Squad!,” “Three’s Company,” “The A-Team,” “The Dukes of Hazzard,” “Head of the Class,” “Columbo,” and “Archie Bunker’s Place.”

Before he began to work in acting full-time, he made his living as a cabbie while raising his three children in Brooklyn with his wife, Rochelle.

He shone on the big screen as well, playing Dr. Ralph Harris in the 1978 film “Bloodbrothers.” He also played Gen. Duncan in the 1988 film “Braddock: Missing in Action III” and Lt. Mellin in the 1988 film “Angel III: The Final Chapter.”

His first credited role came in 1972 when he was cast in the crime drama “Superfly,” the NY Post reported.

On the backs of his performances in “Wonder Woman” and “Starsky & Hutch,” Levine moved his family to Los Angeles in 1979.

He made prominent appearances on TV hits “The A-Team” as Carmine and “The Dukes of Hazzard” as Mr. Baldwin during the 1980s.

Levine’s most famous role, however, came as a crime gang boss in “Baywatch” beginning in 1998.

After the turn of the century, he took several other notable big-budget roles in flicks like Eddie Murphy’s 2012 film “A Thousand Words” and “The Hangover” in 2009.

“I will miss him dearly, but i know he’s making the angels laugh already and back together with his beautiful wife Rochelle,” Levine’s daughter-in-law added in her post.

“Don’t worry, I will take care of your baby boy always and forever,” she concluded. “Love you grandpa. And yes…you always did it your way to the very end.”
