He obviously did better with his acting, but occasionally, on talk shows like Johnny Carson, he'd blow the audience away with a dance routine.

He could do serious, Mayberry RFD, or buffoonish, F-Troop. His role in Mamas Family was quite funny. He will be missed. 😰

Which I am sure they will have in his honor soon. He was always one of my favorites when I was growing up.
