Actor. Born in New York City, New York, he began a long acting career at age 15, appearing both off and on Broadway in such hits as "The Hairy Ape," "You Can't Take It With You," and "Silk Stockings." In Hollywood, he played a wide variety of roles from villain to loveable dim-wit, and appeared in such films as "Yankee Doodle Dandy," "Mission to Moscow," and "My Sister Eileen" (which also featured Dick York). He is best remembered as the flute-playing, begrudgingly-tolerant of his wife's comments, smart-alecky neighbor Abner Kravitz on "Bewitched." Tobias had other TV appearances, including "Mannix," "The Waltons," "The Man from U.N.C.L.E.," "Medical Center," and "Starsky and Hutch." He retired from acting after reprising his role as Abner Kravitz in the short-lived "Bewitched" spin-off, "Tabitha," in 1977.
