Dennis Boutsikaris (born December 21, 1952 in Newark, New Jersey) is an American stage and screen actor. He is frequently mistaken for the late Ron Silver, another character actor who—like Boutsikaris—wore a full beard more often than not. He is best known for *batteries not included, My Soul to Take, and Money Monster.
Boutsikaris was formerly married to actress Deborah Hedwall and the couple have two children.
