I liked him a lot from MTM and
Caddyshack. Interesting history. Apparently he had quite a career, starting out with jobs ala his role in MTM. I heard he didn't get along with the cast on
Caddyshack, taking it more seriously than the others, who were partying and ad-libbing along. He passed early at 62 years old from the return of colon cancer. He was uncredited in his role as a cop in
Psycho.
