Arnold Stang, an actor who appeared alongside Milton Berle and Frank Sinatra and was known for his silly appearance and unique nasal voice, died. Was 91st

Stang died Sunday of pneumonia Newton-Wellesley Hospital in Massachusetts, said Joanne Stang, his wife of 60 years.

He attributed the longevity of their husband's career in his willingness to tackle any professional challenge.

"It was very special because he can do any role, comedy or drama, just like it all," she said Tuesday. "I always referred to himself as an actor, not a particular type of artists, but an actor to play, even when he was asked to play."

Despite frequently playing goofy characters, Stang is a complete professional, how to prepare for its biggest advertising agencies and minimum.

"Remember how I was smart, energetic, and how, and how his discipline, regardless of role," said his wife.

Lightweight and very Stang began his career in radio as a teenager and never lost his love for the medium.

Joanne remembers her husband Stang zipping around Manhattan in 1940 and 50 years, the radio show on the radio show, we all live and call their way to all the action is performed using voice, no facial expression and body language, "he said.

"That was his study," she said.

Berle played alongside radio and television in 1950, played the best friend of Sinatra in the 1955 film "The Man in the Golden Arm," and was a member of the comedy cast "It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World" in 1963.

Dramatic role alongside Sinatra is one of his favorites, his wife.

Expressed cartoons, including the lead character in the 1960 cartoon "Top Cat," and dozens of commercials, perhaps most notably for Chunky candy bar.

Appeared in films alongside Arnold Schwarzenegger and Bill Cosby and continue to act in his 80s, played a role in the 1993 movie "Dennis the risk."

Stang mischievously invented and perpetuated the story, who was born and raised in the suburbs of Boston in Chelsea. But his wife said that she was actually raised in Brooklyn. He lived in the Boston suburb of Needham, in the last ten years.

In addition to his wife, Stang is survived by son David and daughter Deborah.
