Chuck Low

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Chuck Low (born Charleston Lewis Low on December 1, 1937) is an American character actor.

[edit] Film career

Low achieved his biggest success as Maurice "Morrie" Kessler in the Martin Scorsese film Goodfellas (1990). The character of Morrie is famous for his "Morrie's Wig Shop" commercial which is seen as comical, and that coupled with his penchant for pestering Jimmy Conway about money leads most of the characters to see him as a nuisance. Kessler's character is based on Martin Krugman.

He has had small roles in other Robert DeNiro films, most notably in Sergio Leone's 1984 masterpiece Once Upon a Time in America as Deborah and Fat Moe's father.

He can be seen currently in Alan Taylor's 2006 film, Kill the Poor.
