Ralph Tabakin (September 22, 1921 - May 13, 2001) was an American actor, engineer, and World War II veteran.

His appearance on "Diner" began after a visit to the set where he impressed Levinson. He is perhaps best known for playing Dr. Scheiner on the television show "" as the character was in episodes from the first to the seventh season, but was most common in the first four. As a veteran he received five Purple Hearts and two Bronze stars. [ [http://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.html?res=9D04E5D9153AF935A25756C0A9679C8B63 New York Times obituary] ]
