BiographySeymour Joseph Cassel (January 22, 1935 – April 7, 2019) was an American actor who appeared in over 200 films and television shows, with a career spanning over 50 years. He first came to prominence in the 1960s in the pioneering independent films of writer/director John Cassavetes. The first of these was Too Late Blues (1961), followed by Faces (1968), for which he was nominated for an Academy Award and won a National Society of Film Critics Award. Cassel went on to appear in Cassavetes's "Minnie and Moskowitz" (1971), "The Killing of a Chinese Bookie" (1976), "Opening Night" (1977), and "Love Streams" (1984).
He also appeared in other notable films, including: "Coogan's Bluff" (1968), "The Last Tycoon" (1976), "Valentino" (1977), "Convoy" (1978), "Johnny Be Good" (1988), "Mobsters" (1991), "In the Soup" (1992), "Honeymoon in Vegas" (1992), "Indecent Proposal" (1993), " It Could Happen to You" (1993), "Imaginary Crimes" (1994), "The Sleepy Time Gal" (2001), "Beer League" (2006), and "Fort McCoy" (2011). Like Cassavetes, Wes Anderson frequently cast Cassel - first in "Rushmore" (1998), then in "The Royal Tenenbaums" (2001), and finally in "The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou" (2004).
