TRIVIA:

His acromegaly 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.
In an interview, he said he was constantly mistaken for being British because of his work on _"The Jeffersons" (1975)_ (qv) as Harry Bentley.
Suffered from acromeglia as a young man, which accounted for his slightly over-sized nose and lower jaw.
He began his acting career in the Theatre Company of Boston, where his colleagues included then-unknowns Dustin Hoffman, Robert De Niro, and Al Pacino.
He grew up in Boston and attended Suffolk University.
