When he died, in 1984, famous character actor Sam Jaffe had a career that spanned almost 70 years on stage, screen, and television. He was Simonides in Ben Hur, Dr. Jacob Barnhardt in The Day the Earth Stood Still, and Doc Erwin Riedenschneider in The Asphalt Jungle. And, for the latter, he won a Best Actor award at the Venice Film Festival, and was nominated for an Oscar for Best Supporting Actor.
Yet, for this , his most enduring line, he is frequently not even given credit.
