"My guess it`s the contrast of the character, he's enormously empathetic - this big, warm, wonderful, human guy up against these Ivy League-cool types. He's almost at the opposite end of the spectrum. It's one against eleven."
(On being asked why his character Benny Stulwicz from L.A. Law was so popular with audiences).
Larry Richard Drake (February 21, 1950-March 17, 2016) was an American actor, voice artist, and comedian best known for L.A. Law, Darkman, and Darkman II: The Return of Durant.
