My Take
Martin Gabel is exactly the kind of versatile artist I admire most. Born in Philadelphia in 1912, he was not only an actor but also a director and producer, a rare triple threat in classic American theatre and film. Winning the 1961 Tony Award for Best Featured Actor in a Play speaks volumes, because stealing scenes as a supporting player is one of the hardest crafts to master, let alone be honored for. I respect performers who never relied on a single trick but moved fluidly between roles on stage, screen, and behind the camera. Gabel's quiet command deserves remembering.
