Actor in "Ragtime" movie (1981) not identified.
A character in Ragtime states that his name is Baron Ashkenazy (at 2:00:26). He plays a director (speaking with a strong foreign accent) of a silent movie being made on an ocean shore. He speaks many lines of dialogue on-screen. That actor's name does not appear in the IMDb Cast list. Who is that actor?

That's the character Tateh, played by Mandy Patinkin; when he starts making movies, Tateh (a poor Jewish immigrant) uses the name Baron Ashkenazy to imply greater prestige than his modest background would receive.
