I'm two days late on this, but that's okay. I saw him in lots of stuff growing up watching a lot of TV during the 70s and 80s and reruns of older stuff. I think he was born as an old guy. :)
He was great on Andy Griffith. Whenever a show from the late 50s to the mid 70s required an old man he would be on the short list.
Always liked him.
Smile every time I see him on TV
I always thought he looked like a turtle, minus the shell.
I still laugh at that more than half a century later, and for years, Gary Larson used the name Gus in his Far Side cartoons which were always a hoot.
He was a regular on the show Love American Style.
“I think he was born as an old guy”
Exactly what I’ve always thought.
Good memories.
I had forgotten his name, but when the article mentioned Seasoned Citizen character actors, this is the guy I was thinking of.
I remember seeing him in several shows when I was a kid.
The “Kick the Can” tale on the Twilight Zone show, was telecast just the other night (late, late night) on one of the channels I get the old TV shows. Remembered seeing it “way back when” and a number of times since in reruns. Its a great Twilight Zone episode.
