The actor I am highlighting in this post, who is also a prolific voice actor for animated films and television productions, is F. Murray Abraham, an American of Syrian descent on his father’s side and Italian descent on his mother’s side. In 1985, he won both an Oscar and a Golden Globe for Best Actor for his portrayal of “Antonio Salieri” in the film “Amadeus” (1984). Since then, he has appeared in countless other films, television shows, and, notably, theatrical productions.
Despite being an acclaimed actor, F. Murray Abraham has never been honored with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
Fahrid Murray Abraham was born on October 24, 1939, in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania (USA), and is currently 87 years old.

F. Murray Abraham had a long-lasting marriage and is the father of two children. He was married to American actress Kate Hannan (1940–2022) from 1962 to 2022. The couple wed on April 7, 1962. They shared a devoted union for 60 years, which came to an end only with Kate’s passing on November 19, 2022, at the age of 82, due to complications from multiple sclerosis. Their children are Mick Abrahams (1964-), who did not pursue a career in the arts (and should not be confused with the British guitarist and founder of the band Jethro Tull, who shared the same name and passed away in December 2025 at the age of 82); and the actress Jamili Abraham (1970-).
