Patinkin also appeared in the 1985 concert production of Follies at Lincoln Center, his lauded performance preserved in the documentary Follies in Concert.
In addition to his Tony Award-winning performance in Evita, Mandy Patinkin is known for his onscreen work in Showtime's Homeland, his Emmy Award-winning performance in Chicago Hope, and his portrayal of Inigo Montoya in the beloved film The Princess Bride.
