RIP Larry Drake (Benny from L.A. Law)

His portrayal of Benny was real enough that some people apparently thought the actor actually was “slow”. I seem to remember Drake telling a story about how a woman recognized him while he was getting into his car, or driving, something care related, and said to him “they let people like you drive?”

I remember that Tales From the Crypt episode too. I think the lady who ran the orphanage knew the boy;s secret, ot that something was dark about him. That’s why she was so anxious to let this oddball couple adopt him, telling him they would give him lots of sweet things to eat.
