He has 91 years (92 in feb). I think he is the one or maybe I am wrong.

As far as I am aware, the oldest actor that is still performing regularly is Johannes Heestars. He works mainly in Germany. He also does the occasional TV/film roles but is mainly a stage actor.
Heestars was 102 years old last December. -

To answer your question, yes I remember Marc Lawrence. But only in one movie which is od as he did so much work. I remember him vividly as Edward G. Robinson's heavy in 'Key Largo'. He had a big part. I have got 'Revenge of the Pink Panther' at home so must remember to look out for him when I next have a look at it.
Unless you are in the German speaking world you wouldn't know Johan2000nes Heestars. -

His name is Johannes Heesters and he is still very popular in Germany, where he works since the early 1930s (he's native dutch), both in musical films and on stage. He gives stage performances and personal appearances in talk shows. One of his singing routines is the song "Die letzte Zigarette" ("The last Cigarette"), which he performs while smoking a fag. His wife, actress Simone Rethel, is 50 years younger.
Best regards

An actor older than Kevin McCarthy is Charles Lane who is 101 years old. Charles Lane, to those who never heard of him, started in the 1930's and has more than 300 acting credits to his name. He is tall, skinny, wears glasses
and generally plays gruff mean spirited roles. Charles is best known for his character roles on virtually every tv series from the 1950's to the 1990's. If you every seen I Love Lucy, Bewitched, Green Acres, Beverly Hillbillies,
Petticoat Junction, and countless other shows, you've seen him. He was even in the classic movie It's a Wonderful Life. His last role was in The Computer Wore Tennis Shoes in 1995 when he was 90. Charles made an appearance on the 2005 TV Lands Awards show upon his 100th birthday. He said was still available for work! -

The character actor Charles Lane (b. 1905) has been acting continuously for at least the past 73 years, and is still going. You can look up his list of acting credits on this forum.
At his 100th birthday party in 2005, he said he was still available for acting parts. He had a role in 2006, at the age of 101.
