He is the last actor who had the benefit of notes on this play  directly from Arthur Miller.

Anthony has played in over seventy movies and television series. He is currently on Netflix in “Bad Blood” a series depicting organized crime in Canada. His distinguished career has allowed him the flexibility to dabble in various collections including collectible watches (previously auctioned by Christie’s) and now steel modern and vintage bicycles.
