He was definitely a familiar face, not only on film, but on television. I'll always remember him from his guest appearances on Taxi, and more recently, the Buffy episodes "Surprise" and "Innocence". May he rest in peace.

This guy added a lot to many movies, including his hilarious bit in AMADEUS. May he rest in peace.

I'll always remember Schiavelli's bit part in Night Shift, when he asks Henry Winkler 'Where the fuck is 4K?' and then he wipes the sandwich on the door. Classic. He was a talent.

Rest in peace, Mr. Schiavelli.
The man I loved - the man who vanished - he never came back at all. But maybe he's still out there, somewhere. Maybe some day, when Gotham no longer needs Batman, I'll see him again.

The amazing thing about a great character actor like Schiavelli is that he was instantly recognizable, but always believable as the person he was playing.
Thank you Vincent.

One of my all time favorite actors - I just loved his sullen look, it was something quite original. Loved him in Batman Returns amoung the countless others.
Rest in Peace...
