Godfather of Eve Kagan.

Appeared with wife Iva Rifkin in The Sting II (1983).

Older brother of Arnold Rifkin.

Won Broadway's 1998 Tony Award as Best Actor (Featured Role - Musical) for a revival "Cabaret."

Is very close friends with Sarah Jessica Parker.

He won a Tony in 1998 for a featured role in "Cabaret".

Appeared in two movies in 2002 with animals for titles, Tadpole (2002) and Dragonfly (2002). Coincidentally, he'd previously appeared in the film Wolf (1994) as well.

He is sometimes confused with actor Joel Grey and vica versa. Due to this, Grey guest-starred on "Alias" (2001) as a man brainwashed into thinking he was the evil terrorist-spy Arvin Sloane, who was played by Rifkin.
