[on his role as Mendel, the Rabbi's son in the original Broadway
production of "Fiddler on the Roof"] "It was originally a very small
part, no more than a cough and a 'Mazel tof' but it got bigger."
[on playing the role of Motel, the Tailor, in Fiddler on the Roof (1971)] I'm grateful to
The Boys in the Band (1970) but I started to get paranoid that I'd reach old age
with people still thinking of me only as Harold - if they thought of me
at all. Since 'Fiddler,' I've stopped worrying."
