Character actor Joe Mantell, best known for his Oscar-nominated role in 1955's "Marty," died after a long illness Thursday at the age of 94.
It was Mantell who gave Ernest Bognine the iconic line, “Well, what do you feel like doin’ tonight?” — and did the same with Rod Steiger in the original 1953 television version.
Initially a stage actor, Mantell made his big screen debut as a newsboy in Joseph H. Lewis' 1949 “The Undercover Man.” He also played the lead in “Guilty Witness” on “Alfred Hitchcock Presents” and worked with Jerry Lewis in the film “The Sad Sack.”
