Tom Ewell

Tom Ewell was an American actor best known for his role as Richard Sherman in the 1955 film The Seven Year Itch, a comedy that explored themes of infidelity and temptation. Ewell's performance, while noted for its comedic elements, was often overshadowed by the star power of Marilyn Monroe. He originated the role on Broadway and became synonymous with the character's neurotic charm, though critics have pointed out that his portrayal lacked the depth and charisma that would have elevated the film.
