MINI BIO:
Thick-set, mean-looking American actor in tough, growly roles, mostly as bosses, gangsters, and men who rode roughshod over the law. Always looked older than his years and so enjoyed a fine run of middle-aged aggressors, topped by his union racketeer in On the Waterfront. His thick, crinkly hair hid the reality of a bald head. Died of a heart attack. Oscar-nominated for On the Waterfront and The Brothers Karamazov. (Source: available at Amazon Quinlan's Film Stars).HONORS and AWARDS:
.Although Cobb was nominated for two Oscars, he never won a competitive Academy Award.

[referring to a man who is trying to cheat Tom Rath out of his home] If you're going to be slick, be slick in the city. They're not as smart there.
Dock Tobin: [to Link] I put a piece of work into you. every last idea that shot through your head was mine. I remember every bloody minute of it.
Gen. LaSalle: Why don't you say it? Go ahead and say it. This hostage business makes you want to vomit.
Col. Feroud: On the contrary, General, I think it's an excellent idea, as far as it goes. But why shoot only five hostages? Why not ten, or even twenty for every soldier killed? In no time at all, you can have the whole population of Damascus lined up against the walls and you've ended all resistance.
