Personal Quote:
There was no living until I played Willy Loman. Willy Loman is part of my existence. He isn't anyone I can have any objective opinions about. See more »Trivia:
Was succeeded in two of his roles by the late George C. Scott. Cobb died shortly after playing Lt. Kinderman in The Exorcist (1973). Scott took over the part in the third film. Cobb played Juror #3 in 12 Angry Men (1957) and Scott played that part in the television remake 12 Angry Men (1997). Scott also played Willy Loman in the Broadway revival of "Death of a Salesman," a part Cobb originated. See more »Trademark:
