EspañolALLAN ARBUS
'Allan Arbus' (born February 15, 1918) is an American actor perhaps best-known for his role as psychiatrist Dr. Sidney Freedman on the television series ''M
★ A
★ S
★ H''.
Arbus was born in New York City of Jewish background.[1] His first wife was photographer Diane Arbus (née Nemerov), whom he married in 1941. At one time before he became an actor, he was so taken by Benny Goodman's recordings that he took up playing the clarinet.
During the 1940s, Arbus became a photographer for the United States Army and afterward set up a photographic advertising business with his wife. Edward Steichen's noted photo exhibition The Family of Man included a photograph credited to the couple.[2] The pair had two children, photographer Amy Arbus and writer and art director Doon Arbus. The couple divorced in 1959, and Diane Arbus went on to become one of the most notable American photographers of the late 20th century. Arbus later married Irish-American actress Mariclare Costello, with whom he had one daughter, Arin Arbus.
Arbus' acting career took off after he landed the lead role in Robert Downey Sr.'s cult film ''Greaser's Palace'' in 1972. This led to his continuing role as Maj. Sidney Freedman on ''M

★ H'' as well as other television and film work. His last line on M

He makes a brief appearance in the movie ''Cinderella Liberty'' as a drunken sailor. Arbus is also seen in the 1973 film ''Coffy'' (starring Pam Grier), where he plays a drug-dealer with strange sexual needs.
Diane and Allan Arbus' studio/living quarters were at one time at 319 East 72nd Street in New York City. Their neighbor and friend was Bob Brown, an actor from the TV show ''Here Come the Brides''.
Arbus appeared as Larry's uncle Nathan in an episode of Curb Your Enthusiasm.
