#Quote
1I try to make each of the characters different. I think the trick is to cement in the reality, to make it logical and real to yourself. Once there's a reality, I think you can make it as crazy as you want it to be.

6He was the youngest of six children. His father was a doctor, his mother a journalist.
7His acromeglia was diagnosed by an endocrinologist who saw Benedict in a play. He underwent treatment to stop the disease from advancing. He used his facial features to comic effect.
8He grew up in Boston and attended Suffolk University.
9He began his acting career in the Theater Company of Boston, where his colleagues included then-unknowns Dustin Hoffman, Robert De Niro, and Al Pacino.
10In an interview, he said he was constantly mistaken for being British because of his work on The Jeffersons (1975) as Harry Bentley.
11Suffered from acromeglia as a young man, which accounted for his slightly over-sized nose and lower jaw.
