      Josh Mostel

      Josh Mostel

      Highest Rated: 100% Searching for Bobby Fischer (1993)

      Lowest Rated: 14% Animal Behavior (1989)

      Birthday: Dec 21, 1946

      Birthplace: New York, New York, USA

      A portly character player of TV, film and stage, Mostel may be best remembered as the uncle who eats pork on Yom Kippur and gets sick in Woody Allen's nostalgic "Radio Days" (1987) and as the ice cream magnate with a knack for choosing just the right flavor for any occasion in Ron Underwood's "City Slickers" (1991) and its sequel.
