Abraham, F[ahrid] Murray (b.1939), character actor. The craggy‐looking performer was born in Pittsburgh and raised in El Paso, Texas, where he attended the University of Texas. He studied with Uta
Hagen at the Berghof Studio before making his New York debut in 1966 as a replacement in
The Fantasticks. Abraham later shone in several supporting roles onstage, usually playing villains or broad farcical characters. After finding fame in Hollywood, he returned to Manhattan and played leading roles in classic works, such as Bottom in
A Midsummer Night's Dream and
King Lear, and in modern plays, memorably Pozzo in the 1988 revival of
Waiting for Godot.
