Nope, Brit.  I love IMDB.  <http://us.imdb.com/Name?Feldman,+Marty>
Born in London, England, 8 July 1933, son of immigrants from Kiev.
Died in Mexico City of a heart attack following shellfish poisoning on
the last day of filming a scene from Yellowbeard  in which he was
supposed to die. A double completed the death scene.  Now that's what I
call taking the Stanislavsky Method too far!
