Born in New York City , Burton was a student of The Actor's Studio . After early work on stage, he broke into films with a minor role in '' Fright '' ( 1956 ). His career in film and television was long and relatively successful, but he never achieved major recognition. He is best-known for his unconventional (and frequently disparaged) performance as Felix Leiter in the James Bond film '' Diamonds Are Forever '' ( 1971 ). Throughout his life, Burton was a devotee of the Method school of acting, and taught method acting in Lakeside, California . He died in 2003 in an Car Accident while returning to his home in Mexico .
