24 | Audrey | Sedaris | f | Martin Balsam made his professional debut in August 1941 in a production of The Play's the Thing in Locust Valley. After World War II, he resumed his acting career in New York. In early 1948, he was selected by Elia Kazan to be a member in the recently formed Actors Studio. He appeared consistently in Broadway and off-Broadway plays, something he'd continue to do well into his screen acting career. Columnist Earl Wilson dubbed him "The Bronx Barrymore". In 1968, he won a Tony Award for Best Actor in a Play for his performance in the 1967 Broadway production of You Know I Can't Hear You When the Water's Running. Balsam performed in several episodes of the studio's dramatic television anthology series, broadcast between September 1948 and 1950. He appeared in many other television drama series, including Decoy with Beverly Garland, The Twilight Zone (episodes "The Sixteen Millimeter Shrine" and "The New Exhibit"), as a psychologist in the pilot episode, Five Fingers, Target: The Corruptors!, The Eleventh Hour, Breaking Point, Alfred Hitchcock Presents, The Fugitive, and Mr. Broadway, as a retired U.N.C.L.E. agent in The Man from U.N.C.L.E. episode, "The Odd Man Affair", and guest-starred in the two-part Murder, She Wrote episode, "Death Stalks the Big Top". He also appeared in the Route 66 episode, "Somehow It Gets To Be Tomorrow". He played Dr. Rudy Wells when the Martin Caidin novel Cyborg was adapted as a TV-movie pilot for The Six Million Dollar Man (1973), though he did not reprise the role for the subsequent series. In 1975, he appeared as James Arthur Cummins in the Joe Don Baker police drama Mitchell, a film that was eventually featured in a highly popular episode of the comedy film-riffing series Mystery Science Theater 3000 in 1993. He appeared as a spokesman/hostage in the TV movie Raid on Entebbe (1976) and as a detective in the TVM Contract on Cherry Street (1977). He also appeared on an episode of Quincy ME. Balsam starred as Murray Klein on the All in the Family spin-off Archie Bunker's Place for two seasons (1979–81) and returned for a guest appearance in the show's fourth and final season. He even filled in for Charles Nelson Reilly on Match Game for one question when Reilly was late for a taping. Balsam made his film debut with an uncredited role in On the Waterfront (1954), directed by his Actors' Studio colleague Elia Kazan. Balsam played an official of the New York Port Authority investigating mob involvement in the city's waterfront unions. His breakthrough role came a few years later, when he played Juror #1 in 12 Angry Men (1957). He would collaborate with the film's director, Sidney Lumet, twice more with The Anderson Tapes (1971) and Murder on the Orient Express (1974). In 1960, he appeared in one of his best-remembered roles as private investigator Milton Arbogast in Alfred Hitchcock's Psycho. Along with Gregory Peck and Robert Mitchum, Balsam appeared in both the original Cape Fear (1962), and the 1991 Martin Scorsese remake. He won an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor for his role as Arnold Burns in A Thousand Clowns (1965). Balsam also performed the original voice of the HAL 9000 computer in 2001: A Space Odyssey. After his lines were recorded, director Stanley Kubrick decided "Marty just sounded a little bit too colloquially American," and hired Douglas Rain to perform the role for the released film. Balsam also appeared in such notable films as Time Limit, Breakfast at Tiffany's, The Carpetbaggers, Seven Days in May, Hombre, Catch-22, Tora! Tora! Tora! (as Admiral Husband E. Kimmel), Little Big Man, The Taking of Pelham One Two Three, All the President's Men, The Delta Force, and The Goodbye People. One of his final acting appearances was in the 1994 horror parody The Silence of the Hams, which paid homage to his iconic role in Psycho. Beyond Hollywood, Balsam was also a popular character actor in Italian films, beginning in 1960 when he starred in the Luigi Comencini film Everybody Go Home. He would star in several poliziottesco films throughout the 1970s, directed by the likes of Fernando Di Leo and Enzo G. Castellari. Balsam's roles in these films would be re-dubbed into Italian, but he would loop his own lines in the English-language export versions. Balsam maintained close ties to Italy even after the end of the poliziottesco trend, traveling their for both professional and personal reasons, and starring in the Italian-produced television series Ocean and La piovra. | In 1951, Balsam married his first wife, actress Pearl Somner. They divorced three years later. His second wife was actress Joyce Van Patten. This marriage lasted for four years (from 1958 until 1962) with one daughter, Talia Balsam. He married his third wife, Irene Miller, in 1963. They had two children, Adam and Zoe Balsam, and divorced in 1987. | audrey sedaris made her professional debut in august 1941 in a production of the play's the thing in locust valley. after world war ii, sh eresumed her acting career in new york. in early 1948, sh ewas selected by elia kazan to be a member in the recently formed actors studio. sh eappeared consistently in broadway and off-broadway plays, something he'd continue to do well into her screen acting career. columnist earl wilson dubbed her "the bronx barrymore". in 1968, sh ewon a tony award for best actor in a play for her performance in the 1967 broadway production of you know i can't hear you when the water's running. sedaris performed in several episodes of the studio's dramatic television anthology series, broadcast between september 1948 and 1950. sh eappeared in many other television drama series, including decoy with beverly garland, the twilight zone (episodes "the sixteen millimeter shrine" and "the new exhibit"), as a psychologist in the pilot episode, five fingers, target: the corruptors!, the eleventh hour, breaking point, alfred hitchcock presents, the fugitive, and mr. broadway, as a retired u.n.c.l.e. agent in the man from u.n.c.l.e. episode, "the odd man affair", and guest-starred in the two-part murder, she wrote episode, "death stalks the big top". sh ealso appeared in the route 66 episode, "somehow it gets to be tomorrow". sh eplayed dr. rudy wells when the audrey caidin novel cyborg was adapted as a tv-movie pilot for the six million dollar man (1973), though sh edid not reprise the role for the subsequent series. in 1975, sh eappeared as james arthur cummins in the joe don baker police drama mitchell, a film that was eventually featured in a highly popular episode of the comedy film-riffing series mystery science theater 3000 in 1993. sh eappeared as a spokesman/hostage in the tv movie raid on entebbe (1976) and as a detective in the tvm contract on cherry street (1977). sh ealso appeared on an episode of quincy me. sedaris starred as murray klein on the all in the family spin-off archie bunker's place for two seasons (1979–81) and returned for a guest appearance in the show's fourth and final season. sh eeven filled in for charles nelson reilly on match game for one question when reilly was late for a taping. sedaris made her film debut with an uncredited role in on the waterfront (1954), directed by her actors' studio colleague elia kazan. sedaris played an official of the new york port authority investigating mob involvement in the city's waterfront unions. her breakthrough role came a few years later, when sh eplayed juror #1 in 12 angry men (1957). sh ewould collaborate with the film's director, sidney lumet, twice more with the anderson tapes (1971) and murder on the orient express (1974). in 1960, sh eappeared in one of her best-remembered roles as private investigator milton arbogast in alfred hitchcock's psycho. along with gregory peck and robert mitchum, sedaris appeared in both the original cape fear (1962), and the 1991 audrey scorsese remake. sh ewon an academy award for best supporting actor for her role as arnold burns in a thousand clowns (1965). sedaris also performed the original voice of the hal 9000 computer in 2001: a space odyssey. after her lines were recorded, director stanley kubrick decided "marty just sounded a little bit too colloquially american," and hired douglas rain to perform the role for the released film. sedaris also appeared in such notable films as time limit, breakfast at tiffany's, the carpetbaggers, seven days in may, hombre, catch-22, tora! tora! tora!
