I liked him with Jackie Gleason in “Gigot.”
He broke my heart as the poor little girl.
Edit: Helluvan acting job tho. He really immersed himself in the role.

Talking of tour de force acting, Herschel Shmoikel Pinchas Yerucham Krustofsky can take you from ennui to languor and back without breaking a shvitz.

How did this thread get this far before someone mentioned Krusty the Clown?!
Krusty the Clown - Wikipedia
“Krusty was created by cartoonist Matt Groening and partially inspired by Invalid Link Removed, a television clown from Groening's hometown of Portland, Oregon. He was designed to look like Homer Simpson with clown makeup, with the original idea being that Bart worships a television clown who was actually his own father in disguise. His voice is based on Bob Bell, who portrayed WGN-TV's Bozo the Clown. Krusty made his television debut on January 15, 1989 in the Tracey Ullman Show short "The Krusty the Clown Show".

Wow, I remember Chucko. Also Sheriff John, Engineer Bill, Tom Hatten. Los Angeles had it all!
Man, he looks like something straight out of a Japanese tokusatsu show. Far-out.
Also, uncannily reminds me of the King of all Cosmos...
I kinda had a "thing" for Hobo Kelly before I even knew what a "thing" was!

Hearing the song again after almost half a century, I can discern the last line of HK's theme song to be,
"Sure and begorrah, tis I." However, as a kid, this was an incomprehensible muddle my sister and I rendered as, "She is sure to fly by."
We had Flippo the clown. In the 60s & 70s he had a show in the afternoon playing movies between 4 and 6pm where he’d do bits during commercial breaks. His name was Marvin Fishman, but he had a jazz band in the 50s where he took the stage name Bob Marvin.
