George Tobias (July 14, 1901 - February 27, 1980) was an American character actor.
Born in New York, he began his acting career at the Pasadena Playhouse. He then spent several years in theater groups before moving on to Broadway and, eventually, Hollywood. In 1939, Tobias signed with Warner Brothers, where he played in supporting roles, many times along with James Cagney, in such movies as Sergeant York (1941) and Cagney's Yankee Doodle Dandy (1942). Tobias later achieved fame in the 1960s by playing long-suffering neighbor Abner Kravitz on the TV sitcom Bewitched.
George Tobias was a lifelong bachelor and retired from acting in 1972. He died of bladder cancer at the age of 78 in Los Angeles, California.
News reports at the time reported the hearse containing his body was stolen on the way to the mortuary. He is buried in Mount Carmel Cemetery Glendale, Queens County, New York.
