Benjamin Walker, Another "Brick" in the Wall

In the cavalcade of American theater, Cat on a Hot Tin Roof is iconic. 

In the current revival of Cat at the Richard Rogers Theater through March 30, 2013, Benjamin Walker is the abused, disabused and self-medicating character, Brick.  He's one of a line of actors to play that role.
