Benjie was one of the most incredible people I ever knew. We would work away around bars and restaurants on the upper east side, and Benjie would walk in and around them like he owned them. I was a naive young kid who had a front row seat with my back against the bar watching this.
One waiter worked very hard, and went on several auditions. All he got were a couple of commercials. One soap opera hired him and then called him back. He earned, Newcomer of the Year, and became a big soap opera star.
Everyone thought I was a Kung Fu Master from Benjie's description of me. We hawked the International Society for the Protection of Public Figures, and it was a lot of fun. The most amazing part was that, if you had to choose Hollywood actors,Ben and Jeff looked very much like us.
Great memories!
