He was in The Education of Sonny Carson.
He lived a great life.
I was coming in to say this... When he came out the background with the straight razer... "Why you do it Vallie???..."
Wow! Rest in Peace, Brother Paul Benjamin!
He was one of my favorite actors.
He was one of my favorite actors.
Yup! He was Sonny's Dad.
He was also in Escape From Alcatraz with Clint Eastwood.
R.I.P.
He was in Across 110ty Street. His role was fire. I believe the Scarface character was copied from him. Look at the automatic weapon he had in 110th Street. Also look at when they killed his wife and he went on a rampage. The same plot with Scarface when his sister was killed.
Rest in peace & condolences to his loved ones.
RIP
I am still pissed about how they did James Carrier in Rosewood.
Him and Aunt Sarah death's were 2 of the most fucked up in that movie.

Born and raised for a time in Pelion, South Carolina, African-American actor Paul Benjamin is the youngest of twelve children born to a Baptist preacher, the Reverend Fair Benjamin, and his wife Rosa. Paul lost his mother while still a baby and his father as a child. He moved to Columbia, South Carolina, where he was taken in by one of his older brothers, David, and his wife and family. Suppressing his teenage desires of becoming an actor due to social pressures, he attended C.A. Johnson High and, upon graduation, enrolled at Benedict College for about a year before deciding to move to New York City and pursue his dream. Studying at the Herbert Berghof Studio, he finally made his professional stage debut in the late 60s at the New York Shakespeare Festival Public Theater. His theater career quickly picked up steam with such classical and contemporary plays as "Hamlet" (1967), "Cities in Bezique (1969), "The Owl Answers" (1969), "No Place to Be Somebody" (1969), "The Year Boston Won the Pennant" (1969), "Camino Royal" 1970, "Operation Sidewinder" (1970), Boesman and Lena (1970), "The Black Terror" (1971), "Assassination 1865" (1971), "The Cherry Orchard" (1973) and "The Old Glory" (1976).
Benjamin made his film debut inauspiciously as a bartender in Midnight Cowboy (1969), which highlighted New York's seamier side
