==Career== The diminutive Manza appeared on daytime television briefly in 1963 as an original cast member of the [[American Broadcasting Company|ABC-TV]] [[soap opera]] series ''[[General Hospital]]'', where he played the role of Mike Costello. Manza went on to become a character actor appearing on many primetime TV series in guest role spots, beginning in the 1950s with the TV crime/drama series ''[[Highway Patrol (U.S. TV series)|Highway Patrol]]'', and ''[[Alfred Hitchcock Presents]]''.
In 1959 Manza was cast as assistant district attorney Al Bonacorsi in the NBC-TV series ''[[The D.A.'s Man]].'' At that time he had been driving a taxi at night in Hollywood for three years.<ref name="gn" />
This part of his acting career continued to flourish through the 1960s, with appearances on such shows as ''[[77 Sunset Strip]]'', ''[[McHale's Navy]]'', ''[[Perry Mason (1957 TV series)|Perry Mason]]'', ''[[The Twilight Zone (1959 TV series)|The Twilight Zone]]'', ''[[Gomer Pyle, U.S.M.C.]]'' and ''[[Gunsmoke]]'', continuing in the 1970s and 1980s on such series such as ''[[Get Smart]]'', ''[[My Three Sons]]'', ''[[Night Gallery]]'', ''[[Police Woman (TV series)|Police Woman]]'', ''[[Hart to Hart]]'', ''[[Chico and the Man]]'', ''[[Barney Miller]]'' (in 7 episodes), ''[[Benson (TV series)|Benson]]'', ''[[Simon and Simon]]'', ''[[Night Court]]'', ''[[The Golden Girls]]'', ''[[Newhart]]'', ''[[Mama's Family]]'', ''[[Growing Pains]]'', and on ''[[Banacek]]'', co-starring as perpetually puzzled chauffeur Jay Drury.
He went into the 1990s with appearances on [[NBC-TV|NBC-TV's]] ''[[Seinfeld]]'' and ''[[Friends]]'', [[CBS-TV|CBS-TV's]] ''[[The Nanny]]'', and [[American Broadcasting Company|ABC-TV's]] ''[[Home Improvement (TV series)|Home Improvement]]''. Manza also made appearances in several feature films, perhaps most memorably as the actor playing Hitler in [[Mel Brooks]]' 1974 comedy ''[[Blazing Saddles]]'' ("They lose me after the bunker scene"), and as the fisherman whose scene in the 1998 ''[[Godzilla (1998 film)|Godzilla]]'' was used as the film's first teaser.
==Death== Manza died in January 2000 in [[Scripps Health|Scripps Health-Encintas Hospital]] in [[Encinitas, California]] of a heart attack. He had suffered a heart attack three weeks earlier as well, while filming a commercial for [[Budweiser]].<ref name="lat" />
