LOS ANGELES — Actor Joe Mantell, who was nominated for an Academy Award for his role in the 1955 film “Marty” and delivered one of film’s most famous lines in “Chinatown,” has died. He was 94.

Mantell died of pneumonia Wednesday at Providence Tarzana Medical Center in Tarzana, said his daughter Cathy.

Mantell received an Academy Award nomination for best supporting actor in 1956 for his performance as Angie, the best friend of Ernest Borgnine in “Marty.”

His oft-repeated question to his sad-sack friend — “Well, what do you feel like doin’ tonight?” — was one of the film’s most memorable lines. He also played Angie in the 1953 television production of “Marty.”

In 1974’s “Chinatown,” in which he played the partner of Jack Nicholson’s detective character, Jack Gittes, Mantell spoke the film’s famous last line: “Forget it, Jake. It’s Chinatown.”

Mantell was born Dec. 21, 1915, in New York and made his film debut in “Undercover Man” in 1949.

He was a familiar character actor on television, with roles in such series as “Alfred Hitchcock Presents,” “Barney Miller,” “Mannix,” “The Twilight Zone” and “The Untouchables,” and the early 1960s sitcom “Pete and Gladys.”
