The veteran actor passed away on Nov&nbsp;28 of natural causes. "I had the pleasure of spending a lot of time with him in his last years, as he had no immediate family," his agent, Jennifer Garland, told Entertainment Weekly.&nbsp; 
 
He added, "We spent much time outdoors, where Jack loved to sketch, read news articles and recite Shakespearean sonnets." &nbsp;

Born in Los Angeles on January 25, 1930, Axelrod got into acting very later in his career. He has also served as a corporal in the US&nbsp;Army, stationed in Germany from 1953 to 1955. Later, he majored in architecture at UC Berkeley and worked as an architect. 
 
While working as an architect, Axelrod pursued his acting career as he played the role of Banquo in the off-Broadway show Macbeth. In 1971, the actor made his feature film debut in Woody Allen’s film Bananas.&nbsp;
