By the Nazis, his parents were coerced into factory labour. With his parents and one brother, he spent the first few years of his life in displaced persons camps.
In 1949, the family immigrated to Amsterdam and then migrated to the United States in 1956, settling in New York City's Lower East Side. He attended Xavier High School in Manhattan. He enrolled at St. Johns University and also studied under Stella Adler and Harold Clurman.

Career
At the request of another student, Dzundza began acting in his freshman year of college. However, his professional debut came in a 1973 New York Shakespeare Festival production of King Lear.
Dzundza appeared in a short-lived 1981 sitcom series Open All Night about the owner of a "Store 364" grocery store in Inglewood, California. In the 1981 made-for-television film Skokie, he portrayed American Nazi leader Frank Collin.
In 1988, Dzundza performed Sam Hesselman, a disabled man in a wheelchair, in No Way Out and Commander Daskal's The Beast. The Deer Hunter, White Hunter Black Heart, Streamers, Basic Instinct, Crimson Tide, and Dangerous Minds are among his principal film roles.
He was the first cast member of the long-running NBC drama Law & Order, playing NYPD Sergeant Max Greevey in the first season's only. He was furious when he learned that Law & Order would be more of an ensemble performance than a show starring him. Although his coworkers adored his Greevey role, they became increasingly uncomfortable around Dzundza, who was also putting the commute between New York City and Los Angeles was stressful. Dzundza left early in the show's first season after making his last full appearance in the season finale, "The Blue Wall." In the second season premiere episode, "Confession," his character (portrayed by an extra with his back to the camera) was killed.
