In addition to his stage work, Hirsch has had a successful career in television and film. He is perhaps best known for his role as Alex Reiger on the hit sitcom "Taxi," which aired from 1978 to 1983.

Despite his many accomplishments, Hirsch remains humble about his success. In an interview with The New York Times, he said, "I never thought of myself as a star. I always thought of myself as a working actor. And that's what I've always tried to be."
At 86 years old, Hirsch continues to work in the entertainment industry, proving that age is just a number. His dedication to his craft and his commitment to making a difference in the world make him a true icon in both the theater world and beyond.
