He was great as Mr. Bentley, one of the best parts of The Jeffersons. I looked him up in my primetime directory, but no other roles were listed for Paul.

He was on Sesame Street:

"Today, I'm going to paint an '8'."

[Proceeds to paint an "8" on a bald guy's head]

lulz

I thought he left the show to do theater for a while. Might've just been a money dispute?

And, let's not forget the Addams Family movie!

He left in season 8, came back in season 10.

He has a bunch of guest roles listed on IMDb.

I know, right? (Melanie Moretti saying. Remember? :)) 61 different credits. How could someone with internet access not know that? I remember him on Seinfeld.

Oh, I remember! I'm not a Hot In Cleveland fan, but I did watch the first episode when it originally aired and that was the first time that I ever heard anyone say that. I thought that it was such a weird expression! Now I have a co-worker that I overhear saying it at least once a week. :lol:

Wow, 2010. Way before my time here. I just remember you bringing it up a few months ago in that thread I made about whether Melanie was slutty or not, which is why I used it here.

I remember him on Seinfeld.Yep, it was the episode when Elaine was complaining to him about how a cartoon in the paper made no sense.

He also had a brief part in the cult classic This Is Spinal Tap as a hotel clerk.

No wonder I didn't remember him from Seinfeld. I hadn't seen that episode in awhile as I can't stand Kathy Griffin.

Yes he was the guy on Sesame Street who went around painting numbers in weird places LOL. Although I didn't realize it was him until I was a young adult and then it was like wow, that's the same man who played Mr. Bentley on The Jeffersons. LOL! And I bet a lot of people don't know that Paul Benedict isn't English he's actually American!

Ed, for years I thought he was British too! I guess that's how great an actor he was!

Paul Benedict was also in The Freshman (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Freshman_(1990_film)) as an NYU film professor.

I'm shocked nobody mentioned Cold Turkey. He played the hippie guru:
