Of course he was in some live action Disney classics having fun with Don Knotts and others in such films as "The Apple Dumpling Gang" and "Hot Lead and Cold Feet," but he will be most fondly remembered for his skits as part of the great company of comedians who made up "The Carol Burnett Show."
He was hilarious on that show as Mr. Tudball, to Carol's Mrs. Wiggins (his receptionist). I will always remember him attempting to call her on the intercom.
And many people's favorite skit was the dentist scene, where he accidentally injects himself with the needle, numbing his arms.
And of course there is the famous out-take of the "Family" skit where he went off script about Siamese elephants.
And that was really the best thing about his work, especially with Harvey Korman. He thrilled in going off script and challenging the others not to laugh.
What a wonderful, fun soul. A blessing.
