Harris Yulin, the actor behind some of the supporting roles in blockbuster movies like “Scarface” and “Ghostbusters,” has died at 87.
The stage and studio actor died of a heart attack on Tuesday in New York City, his family and manager Sue Leibman confirmed.
“Yulin was part of the vanguard of a generation who cared passionately about the craft of acting,” a statement read. “This deep, lifelong dedication led to extraordinary, resonant performances that were a gift to audiences, the actors he worked with, and the art of acting itself.”
Born Nov. 5, 1937, in Los Angeles, Yulin debuted in New York’s 1963 play “Next Time I’ll Sing to You” and later jumped to Broadway with a part in the 1980 revival of “Watch on the Rhine.”
Other stage performances by Yulin included parts in “The Price,” “The Visit,” “The Diary of Anne Frank,” “Hedda Gabler,” and more.
