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.

Lee J. Cobb Quotes:
Juror #3:
It's these kids - the way they are nowadays. When I was a kid I used to call my father, 'Sir'. That's right... 'Sir'. You ever hear a kid call his father that anymore?
Juror #8: Fathers don't seem to think it's important anymore.
Juror #3: You got any kids?
Juror #8: Three.
Juror #3: I got one. Twenty-two years old.

Juror #3: Aah. When he was nine years old he ran away from a fight. I saw it; I was so embarrassed I almost threw up. I said, "I'm gonna make a man outa you if I have to break you in two tryin'". And I made a man out of him. When he was sixteen we had a fight. Hit me in the jaw - a big kid. Haven't seen him for two years. Kids... work your heart out...
Cramden: Your code book.
Derek Flint: If you don't mind, sir, I prefer to use my own personal code.
Cramden: But I would rather you use the government code.
Derek Flint: I already know mine. It's a mathematical progression, 40-26-36. It's based on...
Cramden: I can imagine what it's based on.
Gen. LaSalle: Do you think I like to slaughter civilians?
Col. Feroud: The Syrians will think so.
Gen. LaSalle: They don't think. They're guerillas, bandits
Col. Feroud: They consider themselves patriots. We French came along with a mandate...
Gen. LaSalle: And they don't like it and they don't trust us. I know all that! And I know how to make them happy, too. Pack up my army and march out.
Col. Feroud: Sir, if I may say so, there is another way. You could send me to see Emir Hassan.
Gen. LaSalle: You never let go of an idea, do you?
Col. Feroud: It still isn't too late to arrange a truce.
Gen. LaSalle: You'd only get your throat cut. You know what a butcher he is.
Col. Feroud: I wonder what they'll call *you* after you execute those hostages.
