Larry Drake, best known for playing Benny on “L.A. Law,” died on Thursday at the age of 66.
The actor’s role as office messenger Benny Stulwicz on the NBC cop drama was hailed as a revolutionary portrayal of developmental disorders for the time, and earned him two Primetime Emmy Awards in 1988 and 1989. He reprised the role in the 2002 TV movie.
He also starred in as the villain Durant in Sam Raimi‘s 1990 cult hit “Darkman” alongside Liam Neeson and Frances McDormand, as well as the direct-to-video sequel “Darkman II: The Return of Durant.”
Though he had recently taken a step back from acting to teach, Drake’s recent credits included the 2009 thriller “Dead Air,” and guest roles on “7th Heaven,” “Six Feet Under” and “Boston Legal.”
