Jack Klugman
Jacob Joachim “Jack” Klugman (born April 27, 1922) is an American stage, film and television actor, known for his roles in sitcoms, movies, television and on Broadway. He is best-known for his role as Tony Randall’s sloppy roommate, Oscar Madison, in The Odd Couple shown on American television during the 1970s, and for his starring role in Quincy, M.E., in the 1970s and 1980s. He attended Carnegie Mellon University and graduated in 1948. In 1957, he appeared in the film 12 Angry Men as juror number 5 and is the last surviving actor who played a juror in that movie.
Klugman starred in several classic films including 12 Angry Men in 1957 (which he says is his favorite film), Days of Wine and Roses in 1962, and Goodbye, Columbus in 1969. He had also won an Emmy Award for his work on the television series The Defenders and appeared in four episodes of the acclaimed series The Twilight Zone (Klugman tied with Burgess Meredith for the most starring appearances by any actor on the series). Klugman says his greatest thrill was appearing with Humphrey Bogart 
and Henry Fonda in a 1954 live television broadcast of The Petrified Forest.
He is best known for his starring roles in two popular television series of the 1970s and early 1980s: The Odd Couple (1970–1975) and Quincy, M.E. (1976–1983). Jack also starred in the original Broadway production of The Odd Couple, after replacing Walter Matthau. He won two Emmy Awards for the television version of The Odd Couple.
Klugman was nominated a Tony Award in 1960 for Best Supporting Actor (Musical) for his role in Gypsy, losing to Tom Bosley in Fiorello! During the pre-Broadway tryout tour in 1959, several songs were cut, including a song for the character ‘Herbie’ (played by Klugman) called “Nice, She Ain’t” cut because Klugman had a terrible singing voice.
