Robert Hegyes, who played Jewish Puerto Rican Juan Luis Pedro Phillipo de Huevos Epstein in the 1970s show Welcome Back Kotter, died of an apparent heart attack Thursday at the age of 60. Hegyes also co-starred on Cagney and Lacey, and taught classes at Rowan University. He was a New Jersey native and said he modeled Epstein on Chico Marx.
