Mostel, Zero

American actor

byname of Samuel Joel Mostel

born Feb. 28, 1915, New York, N.Y., U.S.

died Sept. 8, 1977, Philadelphia, Pa.

American actor, singer, and artist best known for his comedic acting.

Mostel studied and taught art in the 1930s while pursuing the career of a serious painter. He began entertaining at parties to earn money to buy paints and made his nightclub debut in 1942. This was followed by other nightclub appearances, radio work, and his first film role. After World War II he became a dramatic film actor.

Mostel's career was suspended, however, after a 1955 appearance before the House Un-American Activities Committee. In 1958 he began to work in the legitimate theatre in New York City, earning acclaim for his performance as Leopold Bloom in Ulysses in Nighttown, and in 1961 he gave an award-winning performance in Rhinoceros by Eugene Ionesco. This was followed in 1962 by the lead role in the musical A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum and in 1964 by the lead in another musical, Fiddler on the Roof. These successes brought him once more into motion-picture work, first with a reprise of A Funny Thing (1966) and then in the Mel Brooks comedy The Producers (1968). He also played a major role in The Front (1976), a serious film about the blacklisting era in Hollywood. Mostel continued to paint throughout his career.
