Rather uncommon 8x10-inch color photo, shown holding aloft his Oscar for Amadeus (1984), boldly signed in blue felt-tip marker in-person for a New York City-based autograph hound. In good condition. Craggy-faced stage and screen character actor F. Murray Abraham began his career playing tough-as-nails cops, in films like Serpico (1973) and All the President's Men (1976), but, by the 1980s, was almost uniformly cast as murderous psychopaths and untrustworthy schemers.  He was unforgettable as underboss Omar Suarez in Scarface (1983); dejected composer Antonio Salieri in Amadeus (1984), for which he snagged an Academy Award; tyrannical Medieval inquisitor Bernardo Gui in The Name of the Rose (1986); mobster Arnold Rothstein in Mobsters (1991); Joseph Stalin in Children of the Revolution (1996); Al Capone in Baby Face Nelson (1996); Ad’har Ru’afo in the sci-fi favorite Star Trek: Insurrection (1998); and crazed collector Cyrus Kriticos in the horror remake Thir13en Ghosts (2001).
