Biografie

Diese Biografie gibt es bisher nur auf Englisch.

Alan Mandell (born Albert Mandell; December 27, 1927 — October 13, 2026) was a Canadian-American actor known for playing Rabbi Marshak in the Coen Brothers' 2009 film A Serious Man. With several decades of experience as a stage actor, he was especially acclaimed as an interpreter of the works of Samuel Beckett.

Mandell, born to a Jewish family in Toronto, Ontario in 1927, acted onstage in both Canada and the United States, building a reputation in San Francisco's theater scene in the 1950s. In 1968, he legally changed his given name to Alan to avoid being confused with noted mobster Albert Anastasia.
