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.
