After returning to Chicago from Europe he attended college under the GI Bill, receiving a bachelor's degree in 1951. He earned a bachelor of fine arts from the Goodman School of Drama in 1958. "I never had to do anything outside the theater since the day I left acting school," he reminisced in a 1991 interview with New-house News Service.

"I never had to drive a cab like everybody does. I never had to wait on tables like people do, or work in temporary office work. It was just sheer luck." His first television credits were in 1958, including two Canadian anthology series. He made his Broadway debut in 1960 in a small role in "Becket," with Olivier as Thomas Becket and Anthony Quinn as King Henry II. Those early credits set the pattern for a career that would mix a lot of television and a lot of theater, with the Bridge" debuted in 1991, he played King Lear at the Whole Theater in Montclair, N.J., of which he and Dukakis were founding members.

In 2004 he portrayed the title character in an off-Broadway version of Aeschylus' "Agamemnon" by the Aquila Theater opposite Dukakis' Clytemnestra. Zorich continued to work into his 90s, so there is some irony in the fact that his final film was "No Pay, Nudity" (2016), a bittersweet comic drama by Lee Wilkof about the troubles older actors have finding work. Louis Michael Zorich was born Feb. 12, 1924, in Chicago. His parents Christ, a stationary engineer, and the former Anna Gledj, a homemaker were immigrants from Yugoslavia.

His other Broadway credits included the 2001 revival of "Follies" and, most recently, the 2003 revival of "Ma Rainey's Black Bottom." In addition to Olympia Dukakis, his son Peter and his daughter, Christina, Zorich is survived by another son, Stefan; a sister, Helen Co-chand; and four Zorich and Dukakis met in 1961 when both were auditioning for an off-Broadway play. He was up for the part of the husband but didn't get the role; Dukakis was cast as the wife.

They married the next year. Zorich received a Tony Award nomination for best featured actor in a play for his 1969 performance in "Hadrian VII."
