Mystery actor

[Click for a much larger view.]

I knew he was in the movie, but I did not recognize him. Do you? Leave your guess(es) in the comments. I’ll drop a hint if one’s needed.

To avert a likely wrong answer: that’s not Ed Asner.

Here’s a hint: he’s best known for a role that had him living in an apartment.

This was a tough one. The answer is now in the comments.

That goes with the hint, but it’s Jack Kruschen as Agent Phil Schwartz in Outside the Law (dir. Jack Arnold, 1956). Kruschen is best known as Dr. Dreyfuss, C.C. Baxter’s nest-door-neighbor in The Apartment (dir. Billy Wilder, 1960). He was nominated for Best Supporting Actor in that role.
