Academy Award® nominated Seymour Cassel’s distinguished career as an actor is evident in the wealth of film, theatre and television credits he has garnered. As a boy, he traveled with a troupe of burlesque performers and later appeared in summer stock. He studied acting at the American Theatre Wing and Actor’s Studio and appeared in Broadway productions of The World of Suzy Wong and The Disenchanted. After studying in an acting workshop taught by the late John Cassavetes, Mr. Cassel served as associate producer on Cassavetes’ directorial debut, Shadows, and then acted under Cassavetes’ direction in Too Late Blues and in almost all of his films, notably starring as Moskowitz opposite Gena Rowlands, in Minnie and Moskowitz.
