And let us not forget his always superb work in
The Phil Silvers Show (aka
Sgt Bilko) as the much put-upon Cpl Henshaw.

I always wondered about this too as I've noticed this as well. Usually one celebrity dies and within a week or two, two more follow. Strange coincidence?
It's happened quite often and it kind of creeps me out.

And all you Hanna-Barbara fans don't forget that he was the voice of Magilla Gorilla!

I know. I remember the time Paul Winchell (voice of Tigger) died one day and John Fiedler (voice of Piglet) died the next day.

I admit I didn't recognize his name at first, but while I was looking at his filmorgraphy and saw "Sam the butcher on The Brady Bunch" I was shocked!
RIP!

Add Heath Ledger to the group. Perhaps a better way to round out the three than Brad Renfro, who didnt do much of anything.
