Maury Ginsberg is an American theater, film and television actor. Ginsberg is a graduate of Bard College and resides in the New York metro area.
Ginsberg has been active in the theater community since performing in both The American Clock and The Resistible Rise of Arturo Ui. He spent three seasons at the Williamstown Theatre Festival where he met friend and mentor Olympia Dukakis. The two have worked together on a number of plays over the last twenty years including Mother Courage and The Cherry Orchard. In 2015, he appeared Off Broadway at the Cherry Lane Theater in "Laugh it Up Stare it Down". Having played a series of roles in the show, The New York Times and New York Theater Guide referred to the "Excellent" and "Brisk Brightness" of his performances. In 2016, he appeared in the Pulitzer Prize winning play, Disgraced, at The Cincinnati Playhouse. The Cincinnati Gazette described his work as "distinctive and outstanding", The Cincinnati Enquirer referred to it as "superb".
He appeared in many other plays including The Lion in Winter, The Substance of Fire, Freedomland, Intimate Apparel, and The Underpants. Erin Morrison Fortunato of the Rochester City Newspaper said of the play The Underpants, "Maury Ginsberg's neurotic, nearly Woody Allen-esque portrayal of Cohen, a hypochondriac geek with spastic tendencies, is the standout. One can't help but feel for this socially backwards introvert while at the same time hating him for preventing Louise from reaching sexual satisfaction with Versati."
