Career
Theater
Ginsberg has been active in the theater community since performing in both The American Clock and The Resistible Rise of Arturo Ui.[1][2] 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.[3] 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.[4][5]
He appeared in many other plays including The Lion in Winter, The Substance of Fire, Freedomland, Intimate Apparel, and The Underpants.[6][7][8][9][10] 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."[11]
Television
Ginsberg has made guest appearances in several TV shows since 1995. He first appeared in Murphy Brown as Scuz in 1995.[12] In 1996 he played a hippie also named Maury Ginsberg in "Death Wish", an episode of Star Trek: Voyager.[12][13][14][15] The following year he made a guest appearance on two episodes of Friends in "The One Where Ross and Rachael Take a Break" and "The One the Morning After" as Isaac, the copy shop clerk.[12][16] From 1998-1999 he played the recurring role of Kamen on Two Guys, a Girl and a Pizza Place opposite Ryan Reynolds and Nathan Fillion.[12][13] He has appeared in many episodes of Law & Order, Law & Order: Special Victims Unit and Law & Order: Criminal Intent.[12] Additional TV appearances include NYPD Blue, Without a Trace, Joan of Arcadia, House of Cards, Blue Bloods, Damages and Louie, among others.[12][13][17][18] More recent appearances include episodes of The Blacklist, Madam Secretary and Vinyl.[19][20][21]
Ginsberg has appeared in two made for TV films, Lansky in 1999 opposite Richard Dreyfuss and Divas in 1996.[13]
Film
Ginsberg has also appeared in many films starting in his role as Deitz in occult horror flick Voodoo in 1995.[22] Four years later Ginsberg appeared in Where’s Marlowe? as a surly cop.[12] Ginsberg played a small part as a video store clerk in The Ring, but the scenes only appeared in the Deleted Scenes portion of the DVD, and he went uncredited for this role.[12] He starred alongside Jonah Hill, Denis O’Hare and Reece Thompson in the 2007 Sundance winner comedy-drama Rocket Science as the hopeless speech pathologist, Mr. Lewinsky.[12][13][23][24][25][26][27] That same year he also appeared as Marcus Broyard with Sigourney Weaver in The Girl in the Park.[12][13] In 2009, Ginsberg appeared in My One and Only with Renee Zellweger, Chris Noth and Kevin Bacon as Mr. Dillon. That same year he also appeared alongside Hilary Duff, Evan Ross, Michael Murphy and Ellen Burstyn as Lou in According to Greta.[12][13] In 2012, Ginsberg starred alongside Drew Barrymore and John Krasinski in the family drama Big Miracle.[12][13] He starred alongside actors Morgan Freeman and Diane Keaton in the 2015 film 5 Flights Up.[28]
