Career
Brooklyn-born Schindell was born Seymour Schindel in 1907. He was a former middleweight boxer with 19 fights from 1926 to 1928.[2][3] Schindell also memorably played Chizzilini, a parody of Benito Mussolini, in the short I'll Never Heil Again.
In addition to his work in Three Stooges shorts, Schindell also appeared briefly in It's a Wonderful Life as the bouncer at Nick's, and made numerous film appearances playing mainly blue collar roles such as a truck driver, a butcher and a policeman.[3]
Military service and illness
Schindell enlisted in the United States Marine Corps during the 1920s[4] and returned to active service for World War II.[3]
Schindell died on August 24, 1948, at age 41, and was buried at Los Angeles National Cemetery, Los Angeles, California. His final film appearance was in 1948's Three Stooges film Crime on Their Hands; heavy makeup was used to mask Schindell's cancer-ridden face.
