Fyvush Finkel is the Most Jewish Man in America

Fyvush Finkel is one of my favorite people ever. Star of broadway stage and a number of David E. Kelly series, he is easily the most charismatic character actors of all time. We've been watching Picket Fences [and of course I love Boston Public] and I'd forgotten how much I like Kelly's work. I wonder if I might like Ally McBeal...

Anyway, Fyvush just destroys me. He's so dead on it hurts. His character on Picket Fences, shyster attorney Douglas Wambaugh, is both hilarious and pointed and his interaction with Ray Walston (the town judge) is totally classic. He's a bad ass old Jew, and he doesn't take any shit. I wonder who would win in a fight between Finkel and Jackie Mason?

Watch Picket Fences. It's worth your time.
