That summer he appeared on Ted Mack's amateur hour and made a subsequent appearance two years later.\r\n\r\nIn 1959 Bernard introduced rock and roll to Israel and appeared opposite Topol in the comedy feature film \"I Like Mike\".\r\n\r\nSoap fans will recall his role as photographer\/pornographer Stu Samuels opposite Sylvia Miles and Kim Delaney on \"All My Children\".\r\n\r\nHe is most proud of his work on Arthur Miller's \"Incident at Vichy\".  The first New York City revival that Mr. Miller attended was in 1981.  Years later Mr. Miller graced 4 staged readings with \"Bernie\", along with varying casts featuring Richard Dreyfuss, Fritz Weaver, Peter Weller, Austin Pendelton, F. Murray Abraham and Barry Primus.\r\n\r\nWhile his film career spans 3 decades including \"Fort Apache, The Bronx\", \"Rollover\", \"Blowout\", \"The Purple Rose of Cairo\" and \"The Yards\", in 2006 Bernard co-starred as Chaim opposite Denzel Washington and Clive Owen in Spike Lee's \"Inside Man\".\r\n\r\nRecently, Bernard played the lead, Edgar, in the short film \"The Cemetery Club\", winner of the Palm Beach International Film Festival, and Schleimann in the Vlad Nikolic cult film \"Zenith\".  In 2013 he appeared as Judge Glaser in the feature film \"Rob the Mob.\" \"Courier X,\" released in 2016, saw him play a diamond examiner.\r\n\r\nOn the small screen, Bernard currently appears in an Emblem Health Insurance commercial.\r\n\r\nBernard has written and will soon perform his one man show \"Abe &amp; Lillian's Bungalow Colony\", a take-off on the Catskills Mountains, set in 1977.\r\n\r\nBernard is a proud member of ARTC - American Renaissance Theatre.<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":50,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-6","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"metadata":{"_edit_last":["1"],"_wp_page_template":["default"],"_edit_lock":["1531327606:50"],"_wpac_members_redirect_to":[""],"_wpac_show_in_search":["0"],"_wpac_show_excerpt_in_search":["0"],"_wpac_nonmembers_redirect_to":[""],"ase_map_component_start_point":["a:2:{s:3:\"lat\";d:29.760000000000001563194018672220408916473388671875;s:3:\"lng\";d:-95.3799999999999954525264911353588104248046875;}"]},"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.7 -
