A fabulous actor and human being. He will be missed.

Dear God...if You have a house painter up there, tall guy wearing a long coat and a bowler, and he says “I’m gonna paint a 9”...let him.

If you are going to go, Martha’s Vineyard is not a bad pick at all. RIP. Paul Benedict.

He was also the "Mad Painter" on Sesame Street. I don't know why I never made the connection to Mr. Bentley till many years later.
To: RichInOC
You beat me to it by a couple minutes.
To: Borges
I first remember seeing Benedict on Sesame Street when I was a very little kid. He was “The Mad Painter”, and did these skits where he taught numbers through painting. I remember one in particular where he crashed a picnic and painted numbers in ketchup and mustard on slices of bread.
RIP, Mr Benedict, and thank you for all the laughs.

I believe he was the judge in an “Addams Family” movie as well.

My absolute fave Paul Benedict character was Arthur Fleeber (the drama teacher) in “The Freshman”!!! Brilliant!

He also was in the first “Goodbye Girl” with Richard Dreyfus and Marsha Mason. He played that weird director who wanted to gay-out Shakespeare’s Richard III.
