Arnold Stang, actor known for nerdy roles, dies at 91


(NOTE: IMDb says he was only 84, based upon Stang's own claim.) Either way, who dreamed he could still be alive? I haven't thought about him in at least 30 years.

His career was mostly in the forties through sixties. Early baby boomers like me will remember him heckling Milton Berle on Texaco Star Theater. Members of the greatest generation will remember him as a radio star. Younger folks may be aware of when he was cast against type as the voice of the cool con artist Top Cat, a Sgt Bilko clone.
