Herschel Bernardi
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Herschel Bernardi (20 October 1923 New York City - 9 May 1986 Los Angeles, California) was an American film, Broadway and television actor.
He is best known for his Broadway appearances including Fiddler on the Roof, but he also acted in many television shows, including Arnie, where he was the lead.
In the 1940s, Bernardi appeared in the Yiddish films of Joseph Green and was later among those actors who made the transition from Yiddish speaking roles in film to American films.
Bernardi was also in several films, including Woody Allen's 1976 film The Front, a film about blacklisting in the entertainment industry. Bernardi was the victim of blacklisting during the 1950s, as were several other performers and the screenwriter and director on the that film.
