Sorry, this item has already been sold.

Vintage 8x10-inch black and white publicity bust portrait as Tom in the crime drama The Last of Sheila (1973), boldly signed in blue marker in 1996.  In good condition, with scattered handling dings and gentle corner creasing.  The leading man of the stage and screen has typically been cast as intellectually tormented East Coast Jewish sons and husbands, most notably on T.V.'s "He and She" (1967), and in Goodbye, Columbus (1967), Diary of a Mad Housewife (1970), Catch-22 (1970), The Marriage of a Young Stockbroker (1971), Portnoy's Complaint (1972), Westworld (1973), The Sunshine Boys (1975), and Deconstructing Harry (1997).  He made a handful of contributions to the horror, sci-fi and fantasy genres, including Love at First Bite (1979), Witches' Brew (1980) and Saturday the 14th (1981).  Over the past three decades, Benjamin has increasingly concentrated on directing, acclaimed for the comedy My Favorite Year in 1982.
