From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jeff Corey (born Arthur Zwerling; August 10, 1914 – August 16, 2002) was an American actor, television director, and teacher. After being blacklisted in the 1950s, he became one of the most prominent and influential acting coaches in Hollywood, whose students included the likes of Kirk Douglas, Jack Nicholson, Robin Williams, James Dean, Jane Fonda, Peter Fonda, James Coburn, Leonard Nimoy, Cher, Barbra Streisand and Rob Reiner. He returned to film and television work in the 1960s, playing many character roles. Early life and education Corey was born Arthur Zwerling in Brooklyn, New York to working-class Jewish immigrant parents. His father, Nathan Zwerling, was from Austria-Hungary, and his mother, Mary (nee Peskin), was from Russia. He attended New Utrecht High School in Brooklyn and was active in the school's Dramatic Society. He received a scholarship to the Feagin School of Dramatic Art, where he furthered his studies. Prior to his acting career, he worked as a salesman of sewing machines. Blacklisted and teacher Corey's career was again interrupted in the early 1950s, when he was summoned before the House Un-American Activities Committee. He refused to give names of alleged Communists and subversives in the entertainment industry and went so far as to ridicule the panel by offering critiques of the testimony of the previous witnesses. That led to his being blacklisted for 12 years. "Most of us were retired Reds. We had left it, at least I had, years before," Corey told Patrick McGilligan, the co-author of Tender Comrades: A Backstory of the Hollywood Blacklist, who teaches film at Marquette University. "The only issue was, did you want to just give them their token names so you could continue your career, or not? I had no impulse to defend a political point of view that no longer interested me particularly... They just wanted two new names so they could hand out more subpoenas." Back to work in the 1960s In 1962, Corey began working in films again, and remained active into the 1990s. He played Hoban in The Cincinnati Kid (1965); Tom Chaney, the principal villain in True Grit (1969); and Sheriff Bledsoe in Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid (also 1969), who says to the title characters, "I never met a soul more affable than you, Butch, or faster than the Kid, but you're still nothing but two-bit outlaws on the dodge. Television Corey made guest appearances on many television series. He appeared as murder victim Carl Bascom in the Perry Mason episode, "The Case of the Reckless Rockhound" (1964). He was featured on science-fiction series, too, including an episode of The Outer Limits ("O.B.I.T.", 1963) in which he played Byron Lomax; Star Trek ("The Cloud Minders", 1969) in which he played High Advisor Plasus; as Caspay in Beneath the Planet of the Apes (1970), and Babylon 5 ("Z'ha'dum", 1996) in which he played Justin. Personal life Corey married his wife Hope (nee Victorson) in 1938. They had three children. Death Corey died on August 16, 2002, aged 88, after a fall. CLR

Jeff Corey (auch Arthur Zwerling; * 10. August 1914; † 16. August 2002 in Santa Monica, Kalifornien) war ein US-amerikanischer Schauspieler. Corey begann seine schauspielerische Karriere in den 1930er Jahren als Shakespeare-Darsteller und gelangte im folgenden Jahrzehnt nach Hollywood, wo er bald ein gefragter Charakterdarsteller wurde. Zu Zeiten des Komitees für unamerikanische Umtriebe (House Committee on Un-American Activities) geriet seine Karriere 1951 allerdings ins Stocken. Er weigerte sich, die Fragen des Ausschusses zu beantworten, sodass sein Name auf die Schwarze Liste gesetzt wurde und ihm für Jahre weitere Engagements verwehrt blieben. Daraufhin begann Corey, als Schauspiellehrer zu arbeiten und unterrichtete bis 1962 zahlreiche Schüler, unter ihnen Jane Fonda, Jack Nicholson und Robin Williams. Mit seiner Mitwirkung in Der Balkon kehrte er 1963 als Darsteller auf die Leinwand zurück und spielte über 150 Rollen in Film und Fernsehen bis zum Ende des Jahrtausends. Seine wohl bekannteste Rolle war der Sheriff Bledsoe in Butch Cassidy und Sundance Kid.

Jeff Corey est un acteur américain, né le 10 août 1914 à Brooklyn (New York), et mort le 16 août 2002 à Santa Monica. Dans les années 1940, Jeff Corey devient familier du public en tant qu'acteur de seconds rôles. Mais il est ensuite victime du maccarthysme : militant communiste dans sa jeunesse — engagement qu'il avait depuis longtemps laissé derrière lui — il est convoqué devant le Comité des activités anti-américaines. Il refuse alors de dénoncer quiconque et va jusqu'à tourner en ridicule le Comité et divers témoins ; cela lui vaut d'être inscrit, en 1951, sur la liste noire du cinéma. Après plusieurs années éloigné des écrans, il revient au cinéma et mène alors une double carrière d'acteur et de professeur de comédie. Pendant plusieurs décennies, ses cours sont très demandés dans les milieux du cinéma américain. Dans sa biographie consacrée à Jack Nicholson, l'auteur Patrick McGilligan présente Corey pendant sa longue traversée du désert, comme partageant son temps entre un travail dans le bâtiment et une activité de professeur de comédie passionné enseignant à de petits groupes dans son garage transformé en théâtre, sur Cheremoya Avenue - Los Angeles. Intègre, chaleureux et encourageant pour toute une nouvelle jeune génération d'acteurs et d'auteurs, érudit sans ostentation, il dispensa des cours considérés comme les plus passionnants et stimulants de la ville, courus et appréciés, à la méthode sûre et fructueuse, partiellement inspirée de celle de Constantin Stanislavski.
