I have never before or after remember seeing the actor who played an elderly African-American gentleman named Lonnie Jackson (Paul Benjamin). He has a mild case of dementia, which plays into the plot's story-line of how he may or may not be involved in a murder case that's being investigated. All I could imagine was anyone involved in the scenes being filmed, who were there during production, must have given him a standing ovation afterwards, when the director yelled "Cut". Because I wanted to stand up and give him a round of applause... for the feelings he engendered in me. Watching him play a part with so much pizazz, that all of the subplots came together in the last few lines that he had in such a way... that it was an honor to watch! He literally brought me to feelings of Triumph and tearful Disaster at the same time, due to knowing the outcome that his "Honest" reactions in front of all the other Witnesses produced. When I looked up his name after the episode, and saw the parts that he's had, in famous movies including "Midnight Cowboy" and Clint Eastwood's film "Escape from Alcatraz"...2 of my favorite all-time films, I was shocked to realize that I had seen him over the years and didn't realize that it was the same actor, mostly due to his age since he is almost 80 years old. My hat's off to Mr. Benjamin and if he ever has a chance to see this review, just imagine me standing and clapping as hard as I could, when I got finished watching your fabulous performance! Thank you for the privilege, especially since I have two elderly parents, that I could relate to them...many of the characteristics that you brought to life in your portrayal of Lonnie Jackson. Thank you very much!
