"While he will be remembered for his TV work, Albert also had a successful run on the big screen. He earned Best Supporting Actor Oscar nominations for two popular romantic comedies: 1953's Roman Holiday, in which he played a press photographer, and 1972's The Heartbreak Kid, in which he played a world-weary dad.
In a long, versatile career, Albert also earned Golden Globe nominations as the sadistic prison warden in the original 1974 The Longest Yard, and as an Army psychiatrist in the 1956 comedy The Teahouse of the August Moon."

"Roman Holiday" was on just last night on the WB of all places (reminder to myself to never watch another movie on network television: four minutes of movie, commericial break, repeat, repeat). Mr. Albert was pretty funny as Irving the photographer. I could already hear a future flummoxed Mr. Douglas in his reactions to Gregory Peck's methods of shutting him up about the Princess's identity.
Albert was awesome in "Attack." VG++ in everything he did. (nt) - eppis1@sbcglobal.net 14:53:47 05/28/05 (0)

He also was in "Oklahoma", which is the one I'll remember him for.
