\"\"<\/p>\n

Mike Nussbaum died yesterday just six days short of his 100th birthday.\u00a0 Mr. Nussbaum was a stage, television and feature film actor.<\/p>\n

After serving in World War II, Mike Nussbaum went into the extermination business with his brother-in-law.\u00a0 Mr. Nussbaum became involved in community theater in the 1950s.\u00a0 He met and became friends with David Mamet in the 1960s and appeared in many of Mamet’s plays both on and off Broadway.\u00a0 Mike Nussbaum also begin to act in television commercials.\u00a0 In 1969, Mr. Nussbaum got his first feature film role in The Monitors<\/em>.\u00a0 For the rest of his career, Mike Nussbaum acted on stage, television and in feature films, as well as sometimes directing theater productions.<\/p>\n

Some of Mike Nussbaum’s television appearances include: Vital Signs; Spenser for Hire; The Equalizer; 227; L.A. Law; Separate But Equal<\/em> (2 episodes); Brooklyn Bridge<\/em> (2 episodes); Frasier; The Commish<\/em> (3 episodes); and The X-Files.<\/em><\/p>\n

It’s interesting that Mike Nussbaum wasn’t hit with the acting bug until he was in his thirties.\u00a0 Once bitten, he never looked back, acting well into his 90s.\u00a0 I wish everyone could discover their passion and pursue it like Mr. Nussbaum.<\/p>\n

Our thoughts and prayers go out to Mike Nussbaum’s family, friends and fans.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
