Couple Profile
Robert Prosky (December 13, 1930 - December 8, 2008) was an American stage, film, and television actor. Prosky, a Polish American, was born Robert Józef Porzuczek in the Manayunk neighborhood of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, the son of Helen and Joseph Porzuczek, a grocer and butcher. He was raised in a working-class neighborhood and studied at the American Theatre Wing, later graduating from Temple University. Prosky appeared in such films as Thief, Christine, Hanky Panky, The Natural, Broadcast News, Green Card, Hoffa, Things Change, Rudy, Mrs. Doubtfire, and Dead Man Walking. In addition to appearing in numerous films, Prosky appeared as a regular on the television shows Hill Street Blues and Veronica`s Closet. Prior to his film and television career, Prosky appeared in numerous productions at the Arena Stage in Washington, DC, most notably as Willy Loman in Death of a Salesman. He was considered for the role of Martin Crane in Frasier and later made a guest appearance in the show as a reclusive writer. He also played Rebecca Howe`s father on Cheers. Prosky often performed at Arena Stage in Washington, DC, with over 100 stage credits to his name at that theatre alone. He also originated the role of Shelly Levene in David Mamet`s Pulitzer Prize-winning play Glengarry Glen Ross. He was also a board member of the Cape May Stage in Cape May, New Jersey. Two of his sons, Andy and John Prosky, are also film, TV, and stage actors. The three have starred together in two productions of Arthur Miller`s play The Price, in which he played a furniture appraiser who mediates between two estranged brothers (played by his sons). Prosky died on December 8, 2008, five days short of his 78th birthday, of complications following a heart procedure. At the time of his death, he lived in the Capitol Hill neighborhood of Washington, DC.
