Voice of Hanna Barbara's Magilla Gorilla.
His on-camera career usually found him playing bullies, but oddly enough, after his on-camera career dried up he found work playing just the opposite, doing voices for gentle, simple-minded cartoon characters.
He appeared in dozens of TV shows but he's best known for four recurring roles: as Cpl. Henshaw in "The Phil Silvers show" (1955), as Sgt. Charlie Hacker on "Gomer Pyle U.S.M.C" (1964), as Alice's boyfriend Sam on "The Brady Bunch" (1969) and as Archie Bunker's best friend Barney Hefner on "All in the Family" (1971).

And as of this post he is still alive!!

Born Feb 18, 1922.

He also played several characters on Andy Griffith.

Yep! I like the episode where he is one of the farmers selling fruit and Barney drives up and they chase him away!!

Or the one where he forgets to sweep the street and Barney tries to give him a ticket and he threatens to beat Barney up when he is out of uniform!

Classic Great TV!!!
