Actor Anthony Guidera — known for his roles in “The Godfather Part III” and “Species” — has died after his heart suddenly stopped, TMZ confirmed.<\/p>\n

His wife, Valarie, tells TMZ … on May 11, the couple was in the living room of their Southern California home when Anthony collapsed, and his heart stopped beating.<\/p>\n

Valarie said Anthony was rushed to the hospital, where he was put on life support for 3 weeks. Doctors then took him off life support, per his prior directive, so he could be brought him home for a natural death.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Anthony passed away Saturday … but his cause of death is still a mystery. Valarie said the doctors have no clue what made Anthony’s heart stop.<\/p>\n

In 1990, Anthony launched his film career by landing the role of a bodyguard also named Anthony in the third installment of the ‘Godfather’ trilogy.<\/p>\n
