Fyvush was a veteran of the Yiddish theater for over fifty years by the time he started acting on American TV. Starting at age 9, he would be a regular in the theaters in New York's Lower East side for thirty-five years along with a stand-up comedy act in the Catskill's 'Borscht Belt'. When the venues died down in the 1960's, Fyvush moved on to a tour of "Fiddler On The Roof" for the next twelve years, eventually ending up on Broadway playing the lead role as 'Tyve'.
