Born Februrary 1st, 1946 in Los Angeles, CA
Mr. Braverman is best known/best forgotten for his role as Bobby "Binzer" Borso on the ABC televsion show Vega$. His sidekickery was in the service of Robert Urich who played the leading role of P.I. Dan Tanna. He appeared in 21 episodes between 1978-81. Wikipedia describes Binzer's character arc thusly: a college student who did Dan Tanna's leg work and usually provided comic relief. In the beginning of the series, Binzer was a petty thief who fled to Vegas to escape his former partners in crime from back east, as described in one episode... Tanna seemed to have taken him under his wing and used his knowledge and connections of the street.
In those halcyon days Mr. Braverman also made several appearences on pre-Reality Show degradation programs like Match Game, Hollywood Squares, Love Boat, and Fantasy Island... the last of which featured segments titled Cyrano/The Magician where Mr. Braverman played a character called Timothy Potter. Potter... Magician... sound familar??? That Fantasy Island episode also featured a guest appearance from Judy Landers who coincidentally was also a recurring character on Vega$.
Mr. Braverman continues to work in Hollywood, most recently in a 2007 appearence as "Ambassador" on "The Suite Life of Zack and Cody"
