Pollak made his mark as a character actor who often appeared as cynical, droll sidekicks to leading men like Arnold Schwarzenegger in the thriller 'End of Days' (1999) and opposite Walter Matthau as the comedy legend's son in the 'Grumpy Old Men' films (1993, 1995). After nearly a decade of professional success on the stand-up comedy circuit, where he was known for his acute impressions, Kevin Pollak added the 'actor' hyphenate to his name and enjoyed a long second act as a film and television player.
