Man, I love him as the father in the The Lady Eve when he walks down the stairs singing "For Tonight We'll Merry Merry Be", sits down at the table, looks around, says "Where's my breakfast?" realizes all the staff are preparing for the party and finally starts banging the shiny food-warming covers together.

he was sometimes criticized for perpetuating negative stereotypes, but howard hawks gave him a bit of room to stretch out in "rio bravo".

Help me identify this actor who just walked by me on henry st- charles dance but short, gone to seed and with peppery medium length hair. Plays seedy ex public schoolboy types, after a wash perhaps an eccentric english teacher

was there another thread about actor/actresses who are not household names, but you see cropping up in lots of old TV/series?
Anyway, I've been watching an episode of Whack-o from 1960 on youtube and thinking about how much I like Keith Smith's look:

Watched Desperate Characters again the other night, immediately recognized Chris Gampel as the doctor in Annie Hall:

I saw a pleasant Beatrice Lillie silent vehicle last night, Exit Smiling (1926), and Franklin Pangborn played the leading man in her theatrical troupe. It was his first feature film (he was about 37), and already in full nelly mode, panicking constantly with hands in flight.

Jimmy Conlin, the little desiccated guy in almost every Preston Sturges comedy, has a choice 90 seconds as an unapologetic liquor thief in Preminger's Anatomy of a Murder. He's arraigned immediately before Ben Gazzara. Though he's in his mid 70s he's instantly recognizable.

Going to addHank Wordenas well, especially since I didn’t vote for him in the REAL classic Western character actors pollJust saw him say his signature line in The Searchers in a scene in the Romanian movie The Whistlers, “I’ve been baptized, Reverend, I’ve been baptized.” Also, hadn’t remembered him being on Twin Peaks.
