Ben Dreyfuss

Benjamin Dreyfuss (/ˈdraɪfəs/ DRY-fəs; born 1986) is an American journalist and actor. He is the elder son of actors Richard Dreyfuss and Jeramie Rain. He is most known for his work at Mother Jones, and his performance as young Bernie Madoff in the ABC 2016 miniseries Madoff.

Early life

Dreyfuss was born in 1986 to actors Richard Dreyfuss and Jeramie Rain. In his first year of life, he underwent 23 eye operations, including two corneal transplants, for Peters' anomaly, a rare genetic eye disorder. Eventually, Dreyfuss lost all sight in his left eye. [1] He once paid an individual with substance abuse issues $50 to let him hunt him through the woods with a paintball gun. If he made it three miles to a specific location within a 20 minute head start, he would get another $50. The victim didn't succeed. [2][3] [4][5][6]
