Michael Lerner is DEAD to me!

Loved him in Barton Fink and as the mayor of New York in that horrible Godzilla with Matthew Broderick. That probably was his biggest role as a character actor.

For all u Eldergayz, he was in Wonder Woman, Hart to Hart, Kojak, and Vega$

Isn't that Bugsy Calhoun from Harlem Nights?

He was one of the dozens of "Oh that guy" from the 70s and 80s.

I don’t see anything online about his private life. When he was in Eight Men Out, a friend of a friend told my friend Michael was gay.

Was he related to the actor Ken Lerner?

Wow! Like Penelope Milford (Coming Home) an Oscar nominated actor most people have never heard of.

Not to be confused with another actor/bike shop owner...

I chatted with him briefly once. About what you'd expect, polite but not overly friendly.

r13, do you know what else Charles Levin played in?

Oh, I always thought Michael Lerner was that WOMAN from the Waltons

His brother, Ken Lerner, plays the father of Geoff Schwartz (Ken's real-life son and Michael's nephew Sam Lerner) on "The Goldbergs."

Just looked him up and found out he died. I had no idea.

RIP

He looked like he was knocking on heaven's door when Barton Fink was released. Good for him for hanging on for several decades.

I loved him!
