He began to take an interest in acting in the 1940s, and after serving in the Army during World War II, he began to pursue his acting career in the New York Theater. In 1947, he was accepted into the Actor's Studio and eventually began appearing in films.
His film credits include: On the Waterfront, Some Like It Hot, Al Capone, The Greatest Story Ever Told, Voyage of the Damned, The Comancheros, Yentl (portraying Barbra Streisand's character's father), Twins and the American Tail (animated-film series) (voiced, "Papa Mousekewitz").

Rabbi
История Сына человеческого увидена через цепь искушений, ловушек, развилок. Ее двигает экстатический страх, и смотришь его с тяжелым чувством, потому что это триллер веры. Скорсезе изображает последователей Иисуса совершенно земными. Они желали революции, а Он принял Распятие, пошел на крест и вверг их надежды на земное царство в прах, и уподобил их земное существование праху. Но последующая развилка невероятно мощна: Распятый на кресте освобожден от миссии, у него будет свадьба, дом, дети, дорога от объятий к объятиям, от сына к сыну, возделываемый сад.
