 Spencer Lofranco, known for Jamesy Boy and Gotti, dies at 33

Canadian actor Spencer Lofranco, known for his roles in “Gotti” and “Jamesy Boy,” has died at the age of 33.

His brother, Santino, shared the news on social media Thursday before setting his account to private. In the post, he wrote, “To the legend @roccowinning. My brother. You lived a life only some could dream of. You changed people’s lives, and now you are with God. I will always love you and miss you, Bear. RIP. October 18, 1992 – November 18, 2025.”

Lofranco gained recognition for his role as John A. in the 2018 crime thriller “Gotti,” starring alongside John Travolta as John Gotti. He also appeared as Harry Brooks in Angelina Jolie’s 2014 World War II drama “Unbroken.”

Born to a lawyer father and a model-actress mother, Lofranco began acting at age 13. He made his first on-screen appearance in the 2013 romantic comedy “At Middleton” and committed to acting at 17, choosing it over a potential career in hockey or law. He briefly studied at the New York Film Academy before landing the lead role in “Jamesy Boy,” which tells the story of a young gang member seeking redemption in prison.

Authorities are currently investigating his death, and no cause has been released. Further details are not yet available.
