Nehemiah PersoffOne of my favorite character actors, who retired in 1999 to devote his life to painting. I'll always remember him for his wonderful performances in Some Like It Hot, Al Capone and Yentl (and for his uncredited bit of the cabdriver in On the Waterfront). Happy 98th Birthday, Nehemiah, on August 2, 2017. May it be a great one!

Happy Birthday Nehemiah! Thanks for all the characters you've created through the years.  An interest he's taken up in later years. |

People often forget there was actually a third man in that scene.

Nehemiah Persoff
Excellent actor. Always a good addition to any cast. Hey, gunshot, I know we had a couple of difficult deaths yesterday, but today is Nehemiah's 98th Birthday! Please adjust your OP and give him a thumbs up for his long career and good life. (I know, of late, it's hard to keep them straight.) And glad you like him. He's a special guy.  I read the subject as Happy Birthday. I have no idea why I wrote a RIP comment.

Probably because of Shepard and Moreau. It's a bit overwhelming when two leave us at once. I'm just glad Nehemiah is still with us. (And you're talking to someone who can't remember my own name sometimes, so don't worry about anything!) |
