The tall, oft-bespectacled Herrmann has extensive stage and TV experience, often cast as conservative or executive types. He is perhaps best remembered for his TV portrayals of Franklin Delano Roosevelt opposite Jane Alexander in two ABC TV miniseries, "Eleanor and Franklin" (1976) and "Eleanor and Franklin: The White House Years" (1977). He also portrayed FDR in the John Huston musical "Annie" (1982).
Herrmann began his professional stage career almost as soon as arriving in New York in 1970....
