88 years (Dec 7, 1937)New York City, New York, USA
Larry Hankin counts as a veteran of both film and television with a filmography that reaches back further than most viewers remember. There is 'Pretty Woman' as well. Viewing habits have changed more than once since the first credit. Comedy keeps coming back on the credit list. 101 appearances between the two screens is the plain arithmetic of it. In cinemas, 'Home Alone' is the work that stuck — Officer Balzak, specifically. He earned a the Academy Award nomination for 'Solly’s Diner'.
