Sorry, Fred, never heard of him. Must be an American thing.
I believe in offering every assistance short of actual help but then mainly just want to be left to be myself in all my difference and uniqueness.

I remember him and his 'antics'. Quite an actor!

Sorry, UA, Fred, that still doesn't explain who he is and what he is famous for. Obviously unknown outside of the US of A.

A few years before my time, but he was in a popular early 60's sit-com...watched it a bit in re-runs. Bob Denver (later on Gilligan's Island) was also in it.

I was born 1954 so sitcoms were not exactly my thing then. I also don't think it was ever shown over here but I could be wrong as it was a long time ago.
