My favs were with Frank Tashlin from Artists & Models (1955), Hollywood Or Bust (1956) to Cindafella (1960). And of course The Nutty Professor (1963), The King of Comedy (1982) and Arizona Dream (1992)

Cindafella! Now, you're taking me back... I loved Jerry Lewis movies as a little kid. As an adult, I thought The Nutty Professor and the King of Comedy were great. The King of Comedy especially because of it's darker ironies...

Damn! Just found out he died after posting here! RIP for someone who was around in the background my entire life and seemed immortal... Actually I just saw him yesterday on TV on an episode of Law and Order SVU.

Yuuup he was a guest star on Law & Order: SVU Season 8, Ep 4 called Uncle playing a character called Andrew Munch.......a homeless man who turned out the be Detective John Munch's uncle, and was a suspect in a rape and murder of a mother and daughter.....it was a powerful episode about how the aged and mentally ill are sometimes misdiagnosed.

It was a powerful episode and the end when Andrew Munch decided not to take medication which would take him out of his catotonic depressive state to pay for his "sin" was moving. I take it you are an L&O junkie like me.
