A great actor, a great man. I was very lucky to meet him in 1992 in New York during a fashion show I directed at the Metropolitan Museum. After many years I met him again at San Vito dei Normanni during the Salento FinibusTerrae festival when I gave him the Sa.Fi.Ter by Streamit.it award. The last time I saw him was at Carovigno during the opening of a photo show dedicated to Dario Argento attended by Franco Bellomo and Emanuela Tursi for Bic-Set. His presence at the festival has embellished our job that we have been doing for many years; his interviews and his declarations during the festival... We have known a great movie actor, above  all a great man. Thanks, Ben. My staff and I we all send our warmest regards to his family with deepest sympathy.
