He worked alongside great actors like Frank Sinatra. He was an eternal secondary specialized in goofy characters. His likeable face and nasal voice made him an ideal actor to play comedic roles, although throughout his 60-year career he played all kinds of roles. The actor died on December 20, 2009, at the age of 91, as a result of pneumonia.

Born on September 28, 1925, he is officially assumed to have been born and raised in the Boston suburb of Chelsea. But his wife has declared after his death that he actually made up that story and comes from the New York neighborhood of Brooklyn.

When he was 9 years old, he auditioned, and got a role on the radio show “Horn and Hardart’s Children’s Hour”. Passionate about the medium, he would remain linked to radio for a long time. He made his film debut with a small uncredited role in Elena’s Whims , a comedy starring Rosalind Russell .

Since then he has not stopped intervening in the cinema, in several titles a year. He was especially required to provide voices in animated shorts, and thus provided his voice for characters such as Don Gato.

In The Man with the Golden Arm he was the friend Frank Sinatra asks to get him a suit to audition as a musician, but the suit turns out to be stolen. In addition, he was one of the characters in It ‘s a Mad, Mad, Mad World , and co-starred in Hercules in New York , which marked the film debut of Arnold Schwarzenegger . In 1948 he married Joanne Stang, with whom he had two children.
