One of a select group of non- and/or former actors awarded membership in the Actors Studio, Pollack resumed acting in the 1990s with appearances in such films as Robert Altman's "The Player" (1992) and Stanley Kubrick's "Eyes Wide Shut" (1999), often playing corrupt or morally conflicted power figures. As a character actor, Pollack appeared in films such as "A Civil Action", and "Changing Lanes", as well as his own, including "Random Hearts" and "The Interpreter" (the latter also being his final film as a director). He also appeared in Woody Allen's "Husbands and Wives" as a New York lawyer undergoing a midlife crisis, and in Robert Zemeckis's "Death Becomes Her" as an emergency room doctor. His last role was as Patrick Dempsey's father in the 2008 romantic comedy "Made of Honor", which was playing in theaters at the time of his death. He was a recurring guest star on the NBC sitcom "Will &amp; Grace", playing Will Truman's (Eric McCormack) unfaithful but loving father, George Truman. In addition to earlier appearances on NBC's "Just Shoot Me" and "Mad About You", in 2007, Pollack made guest appearances on the HBO TV series "The Sopranos" and "Entourage".
