BOSTON – Paul Benedict, the actor who played the English neighbor Harry Bentley on the sitcom "The Jeffersons," has died. He was 70. Benedict was found dead Monday on Martha's Vineyard and his brother, Charles, said authorities were still investigating the cause of death. Benedict began his acting career in the 1960s in the Theatre Company of Boston, alongside such future stars as Robert De Niro, Dustin Hoffman and Al Pacino. Benedict went on to appear in a number of movies, including a role as the oddball director in "The Goodbye Girl" with Richard Dreyfuss. But he was mainly known for his role as Bentley in "The Jeffersons," which ran on CBS from 1975 to '85.

I guess he didn’t leave a wife and any children behind.

I always thought he looked related to the Royal Family of England. That face and head where so British looking, whatever that means.

Actually, according to Wikipedia, his head size was the result of a childhood illness/deformity.

I didn’t realize I’d seen him in a few other roles.
The judge in the Addams family movie for one.
Good character actor.
