Personal Quote:

The difference between film and stage acting is clearly a matter of reaching the audience. On stage, the actor has to project vocally so he can be heard in the last seats of the balcony. This alone makes the acting theatrical and unnatural...The film actor must rely on his face, on his eyes mainly, (on his thoughts) to communicate with the audience. See more »

Trivia:

He was the obscure cab driver in the famous "I coulda been a contender..." scene with Marlon Brando and Rod Steiger in the classic movie On the Waterfront. See more »
