In addition to his lengthy onscreen career, Bosco was an acclaimed theatrical performer who earned six Tony nominations between 1961 and 2005.
He took home the Tony for Lead Actor in 1989 for his performance in “Lend Me a Tenor,” in which he portrayed the leader of an opera organization. His other notable onstage performances included roles in “The Crucible” in 1972, “A Streetcar Named Desire” in 1973 and “Twelve Angry Men” in 2004, with the latter netting him his final Tony nomination.
Born in Jersey City in 1930, Bosco made the American Theater Hall of Fame in 1988.
