Benny Goldberg
Benny Goldberg (December 25, 1918 Warsaw-September 10, 2001 Los Angeles) also known as Benjamin Goldberg was a Polish actor and professional boxer.
He began his career as a boxer in the 1930s, fighting under the name "Benny the Gyp." He had moderate success in the ring but eventually decided to pursue a career in acting. He made his film debut in Poland in the late 1930s, but his career was cut short by the outbreak of World War II.

He was also known for his philanthropic work, particularly his efforts to help at-risk youth in impoverished areas of Los Angeles.
