Lionel Stander was an American stage, screen, radio, and television actor.
He was an American character actor with a career spanning over six decades, recognized for his distinctively raspy voice and ability to portray cynical, tough-talking roles.
He is widely remembered for his performances in films like Mr. Deeds Goes to Town, Cul-de-sac, and Once Upon a Time in the West, as well as providing the voice for Kup in The Transformers: The Movie.
He was blacklisted in the 1950s for his political affiliations, which led him to shift his work toward European cinema and theater before returning to American screen roles later in life.
