   Mike Nussbaum was based on the Chicago stage for decades. Over the   
   course of his long career, he made guest appearances on tv series, and   
   had supporting roles in movies. Generally, these were Chicago-based   
   productions. He originated roles on the Chicago stage in David Mamet   
   plays and also performed in their adaptation to tv and movies.   
      
   House of Games (1987) was written for the screen by Mamet (also with a   
   story by credit for Jonathan Katz) and directed by Mamet. Nussbaum   
   played one of the con men in the team led by Joe Mantenga.   
      
   He was born December 29, 1923, and died this morning December 23, 2023,   
   days short of his 100th birthday.   
      
   More importantly, he was still working. Mamet wrote a 15-minute   
   two-character play for him to perform in called Pilot's Lounge and he   
   performed with B.J. Jones in various theaters over the last few momths.   
   Days ago, he was doing dramatic readings onstage.   
      
   His union Actors Equity (left out of the SAG-AFTRA merger so he still   
   must have been a member in multiple unions depending on the movie or tv   
   production) acknowledged in as the oldest working actor.
