Bronson Pinchot Net Worth

Bronson Alcott Pinchot (born May 20, 1959) is an American actor. He has appeared in several feature films, including Risky Business, Beverly Hills Cop (and reprising his popular supporting role in Beverly Hills Cop III), The First Wives Club, True Romance, Courage Under Fire and It's My Party. Pinchot is probably best known for his role in the ABC family sitcom Perfect Strangers as Balki Bartokomous from the (fictional) Greek-like island of Mypos.
Pinchot was born in New York City, New York, the son of Rosina (n'ee Asta), a typist, and Henry Pinchot (originally Poncharavsky), a bookbinder. His mother was Italian-American, and his father, who was of Russian descent, was born in New York and raised in Paris. Pinchot was raised in southern California. After graduating from South Pasadena High School, where he was number one in his class and valedictorian, he went to Yale University on a full scholarship. He was placed in Morse College there and graduated magna cum laude. He began college studying fine art but became interested in acting when he won a role in a college play and was discovered by a casting director which resulted in a role in the feature film Risky Business.
During an episode of the $25,000 Pyramid, TV host Dick Clark asked Pinchot what type of work he had done prior to acting. Pinchot answered that he had worked for a company making leather souvenir key chains. When asked how long he did that, he replied "12 hours a day for a couple of years."
He retains an active interest in ancient Greek sculpture (460-31 BC). In December 2002, Pinchot became a Freemason.
Since approximately 1999, Pinchot has spent a great deal of time in Harford, Pennsylvania, restoring the circa 1839 mansion of former Pennsylvania state Senator Edward Jones. He has since purchased six properties in the small, rural town of 1,300 "in an effort to return the town to its 1800s appearance."
Pinchot has a sister and two brothers, one of them being younger brother Justin Pi
